Celebrating Freedom, Unity, and Dependence on God: A Reflection on Independence Day

On July 4, 2025, En-Joy Ministries celebrates Independence Day, reflecting on the courage and sacrifice that birthed America’s freedom, rooted in Christian faith. Pastor Barron Greenwalt explores how liberty, a gift from God (Galatians 5:1), demands responsibility. Biblical unity (koinonia, Ephesians 4:3) calls Christians to fellowship in Christ, mirroring the nation’s founding spirit. Dependence on God, not just independence, sustains us, as Proverbs 14:34 affirms. A heartfelt prayer seeks unity, wisdom for leaders, and renewal, urging believers to uphold God’s principles for a thriving nation.

Discerning Truth in a Divided World

Pastor Barron Greenwalt of En-Joy Ministries examines the division fueled by half-truths in today’s public sphere, spotlighting Donald Trump and Elon Musk’s public disputes. Citing John 8:44, he warns of Satan’s deceptive tactics, likening them to biblical examples like Saul and David. Trump’s misleading posts and Musk’s political shifts distract from their callings, mirroring the enemy’s traps. Proverbs 3:5-6 calls for discernment. Pastor Greenwalt urges prayer for their salvation and wisdom, offering a heartfelt prayer for unity and truth, encouraging believers to seek God’s guidance in a fractured world.

Caring for the Vulnerable: A Biblical Call to Family and Church

At En-Joy Ministries, we embrace God’s call to care for widows, orphans, and the truly needy, as seen in Deuteronomy 10:18 and James 1:27. Scripture places the primary responsibility on families to support their loved ones (1 Timothy 5:8), with the church as a backup when family is absent (Acts 6:1-7). Pastor Barron Greenwalt shares his family’s legacy of caring for five generations, urging us to reject cultural reliance on government or nursing homes and instead honor the vulnerable with dignity. Let’s discern true needs, avoid enabling idleness (2 Thessalonians 3:10), and reflect Christ’s love.

Seeing Through the Spectacle of Corruption

Micah 3:11 warns, “Her leaders judge for a bribe.” Corruption in our judiciary, from Jesus’ time to today, often prioritizes personal gain. The recent Barrett-Jackson Supreme Court spat over Trump v. CASA (June 27, 2025) seems less about principle and more a spectacle to boost their $2 million book deals with Penguin Random House. Like Samuel’s sons (1 Samuel 8:3), who perverted justice for profit, such actions erode trust. Let’s pray for discernment, hold leaders accountable, and seek God’s truth amid worldly schemes.
Lord, guide our justices to prioritize justice. Amen.

Understanding Jesus’ Sonship: The Eternal Word of God

Jesus’ title as “Son of God” often confuses Christians and Muslims alike. It doesn’t imply a physical relationship but signifies Jesus as the Messiah and the eternal Word of God (John 1:1-2). The Word, inseparable from God’s essence, became flesh in Jesus (John 1:14), revealing the Father (John 14:9). Scriptures like John 5:18-26 and Colossians 1:15 affirm His divine nature and unique relationship with God. At En-Joy Ministries, we clarify that Jesus is God’s self-expression, manifest in human flesh (1 Timothy 3:16), calling us to worship and share His truth with love.

As pastor of En-Joy Ministries, I invite you to embrace koinonia—the deep fellowship uniting believers with God and each other. Through communion, we celebrate Jesus’ sacrifice, as seen in Acts 2:42-47 and Matthew 26:17-29. This sacred act binds us as God’s family, fostering love and unity (1 Corinthians 10:16-17). By sharing the bread and cup, we remember Christ’s love, examine our hearts, and anticipate eternity together. Let’s live out koinonia, strengthening our witness and glorifying God as one body in Christ.

Exploring Mars, Embracing God’s Creation: A Pastor’s Reflection on Science, Scripture, and Salvation

As pastor of En-Joy Ministries, I marvel at God’s creation through space exploration, from NASA’s Mars rovers to the Space Shuttle’s legacy. Yet, as a young Earth creationist, I reject carbon dating’s flawed billions-of-years claims, affirming a 6,000–10,000-year-old universe per Genesis. Mars’ Jezero Crater, possibly once a lake, declares God’s glory, not alien life. Humanity, one race from Adam and Eve, is Earth’s focus. I pray Elon Musk, via SpaceX, finds Christ, his influence glorifying the Creator. Let Mars and the cosmos point us to Jesus (Romans 1:20, Psalm 8:9).
