This verse from Colossians 3:15 is one of the most balanced, powerful calls to Christian living — and when you speak it, it sounds like a charge to the whole community. Paul isn’t offering a suggestion. He’s issuing a command that reshapes the whole Christian life: “Let the peace of God rule in your hearts… and be thankful.” Gratitude is not an accessory to peace — it’s the engine of it.
The gospel reading for the Fifth Sunday of Lent is the story of Jesus raising Lazarus from the dead. Jesus didn’t raise Lazarus as a random display of power. He did it for two grieving sisters who needed to know that the One standing before them wasn’t just a healer but the Christ, the One who holds life itself.

Nothing can separate you from God’s love — not your past, not your wounds, not your doubts, not your darkest night. When you say “nothing,” you’re echoing the entire arc of Scripture — from the God who walked with Adam in the garden, to the God who pursued Israel in exile, to the Christ who descended into death itself to reach us. It’s the story of a God who refuses to let distance have the final word.
Immigration can impact the culture of our country. There is strength in our differences, but a lack of assimilation can negatively impact our culture. With the dramatic rise in illegal immigration during the Biden years, the question of assimilation is on the table. What is the right “balance” to strengthen the culture of our society?

Peace
In a moment when our communities feel the weight of uncertainty, Psalm 46:10 speaks with a clarity that cuts through the noise: “Be still, and know that I am God.” This is not a retreat from responsibility. It is a return to the Source. Stillness is not silence. Stillness is not surrender. Stillness is the courageous act of refusing to let fear set the agenda. God remains present, sovereign, and unshaken even when the world trembles.
When we slow down, we start to hear Him. In open doors and closed ones. In pressure and in peace. In struggle, blessing, delay, and surprise. Nothing in your life is random. God is communicating. Pay attention to the places He’s trying to lead you.
Those who place everything in God’s hands don’t just surrender control — they train their eyes to recognize grace. Trust becomes a lens. What once looked random begins to look purposeful. What once felt heavy begins to feel held. When you give God the whole story, you start noticing His fingerprints on every page. This is a spiritual reality.
Terror-related incidents have increased since the outbreak of the Iran War. The United States has also experienced a noticeable uptick in attempted attacks and federal investigations into extremist activity. While the motives and affiliations of individual attackers vary, a growing number of national security analysts, former intelligence officials, and members of Congress argue that the Biden administration’s border and immigration policies have created conditions that increase the risk of attacks by foreign terror networks.

It’s a simple line, but it carries the weight of the Gospel. Every disciple eventually discovers that God’s most transformative work rarely happens on the smooth, predictable paths. Scripture is full of people who met God most clearly not in comfort, but in the stretch of the journey. Hard roads do not mean God is absent. They often mean God is nearer than we realize, reshaping us, strengthening us, and preparing us for a destination we cannot yet see.
Fear looks ahead and sees darkness. Faith looks ahead and sees God. Fear anticipates defeat. Faith anticipates resurrection. This is the shift Lent invites: from “What if” to “Even if.” Lent invites us to confront the fears that quietly shape our decisions and drain our peace. This season, Christ teaches us to move from anxious imagining to holy trust. In Gethsemane, Jesus feels the weight of “What if,” yet He chooses the courage of “Even if”—placing His life in the Father’s hands.
