A Pastor’s Plea: Praying for Peace Amid Los Angeles Protests

As pastor of En-Joy Ministries, I’m heartbroken by the violent protests in Los Angeles on June 7, 2025, sparked by ICE raids detaining 44 people. Clashes with federal agents and a car set ablaze prompted the Trump administration to deploy 2,000 National Guard troops. Activist networks, using digital tools like X, organized rapidly, overwhelming law enforcement. While rumors of George Soros funding lack evidence, the chaos demands justice for violent protesters. We pray for peace, our leaders, and truth (1 Timothy 2:1-2). Join En-Joy Ministries in seeking God’s healing for Los Angeles

A Pastor’s Call to Pray for Donald Trump and Elon Musk

As a pastor, I’ve long prayed for Donald Trump and Elon Musk’s salvation. Trump’s life was spared by divine intervention, yet his actions don’t clearly show Jesus as his Savior. Musk’s SpaceX work reveals creation’s wonders, prompting my message to him about Romans 1:20. Both need Christ to have their names in the Lamb’s Book of Life (Revelation 20:15). Join me in praying: Father, lead Trump and Musk to accept Jesus’ sacrifice (1 Peter 1:18-19), that their influence may glorify You. Amen.

The Biblical Meaning of Joy: En-Joy Ministries’ Call to Enable, Enrich, Encourage, and Enjoy

At En-Joy Ministries, we explore the biblical meaning of joy, rooted in the Hebrew simchah and Greek chara, reflecting gladness and spiritual fruit. Joy fuels faith, embodying Nehemiah 8:10: “The joy of the Lord is your strength.” Our mission, inspired by the prefix “EN,” centers on four actionable, joy-driven concepts: Enable (Philippians 4:13), Enrich (Psalm 16:11), Encourage (1 Thessalonians 5:11), and Enjoy (John 15:11). Through Paul’s endurance, David’s worship, the early church’s unity, and Jesus’ promise of fullness, joy empowers us. Join us to embrace joy, finding strength to live out God’s calling.

The Church as God’s Blended Family

The church is God’s blended family, united by Christ’s indwelling presence (Matthew 18:20). Like a diverse household, believers from all walks of life come together, bringing unique backgrounds and challenges. Through koinonia—deep fellowship rooted in Christ—we share love, growth, and service (Acts 2:42–47). Despite differences, our unity in Christ’s grace and sovereignty creates a family where all belong (1 Corinthians 12:12). By loving God and one another (Matthew 22:34–40), we grow in faith, care for each other, and impact the world, reflecting Jesus’ love and drawing others to Him (John 13:34–35).

Who Are We in God’s Plan? Understanding Lineage, the Jewish People, and Salvation

All humanity descends from Adam, but the Jewish people are uniquely chosen through Abraham’s covenant (Genesis 12:1-3). As Christians, we’re “born again” through faith in Christ (John 3:3), grafted into God’s promise (Romans 11:17), not ethnically Jewish. Salvation comes only through Jesus (John 14:6), rejecting dual-covenant theology. We also reject replacement theology, affirming Israel’s distinct role (Romans 11:29). Modern Israel’s 1948 establishment fulfills prophecy (Ezekiel 36:24). Let’s pray for the Jewish people and share the Gospel, trusting God’s plan to save “all Israel” through Christ (Romans 11:26). Join En-Joy Ministries to explore more!
