Scripture fuels hope, teaching us to live for heaven (Romans 15:4). At En-Joy Ministries, we believe “The Joy of the Lord is our Strength” (Nehemiah 8:10), empowering us to steward our lives faithfully (Matthew 25:14-21). Heaven, our north star, transforms our priorities, urging us to invest in God’s Word and people. Let the promise of eternal joy guide your actions, filling you with strength to live heaven-minded today.
Once-Christian nations like Syria, Turkey, Egypt, and Lebanon drifted from faith due to conquests, economic pressures, persecution, emigration, and demographic shifts. The U.S., with its Christian heritage, risks a similar path through secularization and cultural drift. Pew Research shows Christian identification dropped from 77% to 65% in a decade. Scripture, like Judges 2:10 and Ephesians 6:13, warns against forgetting God and urges steadfastness. As a remnant (Romans 11:4), American Christians must engage in church, teach the faith, and resist modern “idols” (1 John 5:21) to preserve our covenant and avoid the Middle East’s fate.
On Memorial Day, I reflect on a 1940 Fort Sill photograph of my great-grandfather, William Elvin Penn, and his battalion, including a Japanese American soldier. Taken before WWII’s turmoil, it captures unity and sacrifice. Many didn’t return from the Pacific, reminding us life is fleeting (James 4:14). Like Christ, who laid down His life (John 15:13), these soldiers inspire us to live boldly and accept salvation urgently. Honor their legacy by embracing Christ’s love today. Share this story of courage and faith. #MemorialDay #Faith #Sacrifice #Jesus, #Salvation
The church’s zeal for justice, once a force that abolished slavery and reformed society, has faded. Today, nearly 50 million people are enslaved worldwide, yet Christian leadership remains silent. Scripture calls us to “act justly” (Micah 6:8) and “set the oppressed free” (Luke 4:18). We must reclaim our prophetic voice, support anti-slavery efforts, and pray fervently. Sign the petition to repeal the Johnson Amendment and empower the church to fight modern slavery. The time for inaction is over—let’s rekindle the zeal of our forefathers and stand for the oppressed as Christ did.
In 1994, South Africa achieved a peaceful transition from apartheid to democracy with Nelson Mandela’s election, defying predictions of civil war. The Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC), led by Archbishop Desmond Tutu, facilitated healing by uncovering apartheid-era abuses and granting amnesty for confessions. Public hearings showcased forgiveness, with victims confronting perpetrators on live TV. Christian principles, emphasized by Tutu, played a key role in this unprecedented reconciliation. Reflecting on the 2025 Trump-South Africa meeting, this history offers lessons in unity amidst division, highlighting the power of truth and forgiveness to mend deep societal wounds.
God’s heart is for the needy, and He calls us to love them through selfless service. Jesus taught us to “love your neighbor as yourself” (Matt. 22:39) and said, “Whatever you did for the least of these, you did for Me” (Matt. 25:40). The Good Samaritan (Luke 10:30–37) shows us to help others, even at a cost. At En-Joy Ministries, we’re committed to serving the vulnerable. Join us in reflecting God’s love through volunteering, giving, or praying. “Whoever is kind to the poor lends to the Lord” (Prov. 19:17). #EnJoyMinistries
America faces challenges of corruption, poverty, and moral decay threatening its constitutional foundations. Advocating for term limits, reevaluating welfare systems, and restoring Christian values are essential. By engaging actively in communities and promoting accountability, Christians can reclaim their nation, ensuring justice and hope are restored for future generations.
In today’s world, success is often measured by financial wealth. The rich and powerful are celebrated as the epitome of achievement, their status defined by what they own—big houses, fancy cars, or influential titles. Our culture equates a hefty bank account with worth, but the Bible tells a different story. As someone who’s been called […]
