At 77 years old, I have witnessed the incredible transformation of America—from its days as a dominant economic powerhouse and global leader to a country that sometimes feels like it has lost its collective mind. Over the past ten years, technological advances have promised us more convenience, more connection, and a better life. Yet for many, this promise remains unfulfilled.
We stand at the crossroads of innovation and uncertainty. The rise of AI has brought forth both remarkable breakthroughs and daunting new challenges. Disinformation campaigns now spread at lightning speed, eroding the trust that once united us as Americans. We find ourselves questioning what is true—bombarded by headlines proclaiming economic strength while home foreclosures reach record highs and automobile repossessions increase month after month. Millions are living paycheck to paycheck; grocery bills climb higher than ever before; families struggle to put food on their tables.
Technology has made some jobs obsolete, leaving hardworking people behind as companies chase efficiency over loyalty. Meanwhile, both government and personal debt soar to unsustainable heights—so much so that bankruptcy seems inevitable for some.
But even in these uncertain times—perhaps especially now—we must remember our God is still in control. It is time that Christians wake up and realize that time is short. As we face wars, depressions, and social upheavals, we dare not give up hope. Now is the moment to come together with renewed determination—to demand truth from our leaders and compassion from one another; to use technology not just for profit but for progress; to support those who are struggling rather than leaving them behind.
We may feel lost at times—but we are not without hope or power. By holding fast to our faith in Jesus Christ, our LORD and Savior, we can show others there is hope beyond today’s confusion—a hope anchored in truth that will never fail us no matter how turbulent the world becomes around us
