Is anything more beautiful than freedom? One of our founding fathers, Patrick Henry, said: "Give me liberty or give me death!" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Give_me_liberty,_or_give_me_death! In a way, Jesus Christ said the opposite: "Give Me death, so I can give you liberty!" Amen? I found a beautiful Kingdom POWER resource last night. I planned to blog about it this morning. Except...
How difficult might it be for anyone to become (and remain) a faith-full Christian in a wealth-exploding, idol-making, temptation-hounding place like Hollywood? Ask Chris Pratt. Highest-grossing actor in 2014, making $1.2 billion between leads in Guardians of the Galaxy and The Lego Movie. https://www.crosswalk.com/blogs/christian-trends/what-chris-pratt-said-about-his-faith-will-change-your-mind-about-hollywood.html In 2015, Chris starred in Jurassic World. And made Time Magazine's "100 List" -- the...
As a cancer survivor, I really appreciate my hair. I certainly don't take it for granted. Baldness brought on by Big Guns Chemo has a way of giving a person perspective. Amen? :) Sarah Breedlove had that perspective. Her troubles with scalp disorders and intermittent baldness had nothing to do with cancer. But they had...
A lot of "wanna be" power surrounded the Titanic. Prideful boasting: The greatest of all ships! Unsinkable! Oh, well. So much for prideful boasts. But isn't that the point? "... the tongue is a small part of the body, but it makes great boasts... The tongue also is... a world of evil among the parts of...

The Masterpiece case is about a Christian business owner making a business decision based on deeply-held religious beliefs. Although the Court ruled for Phillips, the "win" isn't the precedent-setting decision I'd hoped to see. https://championsofdestiny.com/slicing-the-masterpiece-cake-part-1/ AND https://championsofdestiny.com/slicing-the-masterpiece-cake-part-2/ Still... I conclude my 3-part blog with HOPE! I found it in the Concurring Opinion by Justice Thomas, with...
Kingdom POWER advances whenever Christians stand by faith in the face of opposition. History records that faith spreads explosively in the face of harsh persecution. Jack Phillips stood by faith when he declined to use his artistic abilities to create a masterpiece cake celebrating a same-sex marriage. After six years of expensive legal losses and...
I heard the news minutes after it broke. Two days ago. The U.S. Supreme Court ruled in favor of Jack Phillips in the highly-anticipated case, Masterpiece Cakeshop v. Colorado Civil Rights Commission. My immediate reaction? I wept. With gratitude and joy. Saying over and over, "Thank You, Jesus!" YET... A heart-prompting I now recognize as the Holy...

What self-respecting military bootcamp would ever market a course entitled "The Power of Weakness" as the essential foundation for Victory in battle? None. That's a fact. And maybe that's The Problem. Because as long as warrior training is self-respecting, it is blind -- hopelessly and irrevocably -- to the True Source of Power... The Lord Jesus...
