In this week’s edition of Truth for Our Times, I am bringing you three important articles that speak directly to the moment in which we find ourselves, spiritually, culturally, and politically.

Legislative Update: Developments That Could Shape North Carolina’s Future

This article is a clear-eyed look at the major issues currently unfolding in our state. While the General Assembly was quiet this week on specific matters that Return America vigilantly watches – religious liberty, parental rights, the sanctity of life, and moral policy – several developments demand careful attention. From the ongoing Medicaid funding standoff – to legal challenges surrounding North Carolina’s congressional map – to ICE enforcement activity across our state – each of these stories helps to frame the environment in which future legislative battles may be fought. This update will help you understand what is happening behind the scenes and why these matters deserve the prayers and vigilance of God’s people.

The Most Dangerous Enemy America Faces

This article is a sober warning about the dangers of Progressive Christianity. It is something far more spiritually corrosive than any foreign foe. This piece explains why a counterfeit faith that empties the Gospel of its truth and power poses a greater threat to our nation than any geopolitical adversary. When pulpits lose their conviction, a nation loses its moral compass. I believe this may be one of the most urgent messages I have written in recent years.

The Rest Between the Notes

This article is drawn from the rich devotional insight of Charles Spurgeon. In a time when hearts feel shaken, this article reflects on God’s call to pause – His “Selah”- in moments of trial. It is a reminder that the rest between the notes is not God’s absence, but His steadying hand preparing the soul for the next movement of His grace.

I earnestly pray that each of these articles will inform your mind, strengthen your convictions, and encourage your spirit. May we stand together – firm in the truth, rich in His grace, and committed to honoring Christ in every sphere of life. He is worthy of our complete devotion.

In His Service,

Dr. Mark H. Creech
Director of Government Relations
