Written by Doug Stringer during America Reads the Bible, held April 18-25 in Washington D.C. In a time marked by noise, division, and uncertainty, something profoundly simple—and deeply powerful—is taking place in our nation’s capital. As part of America Reads the Bible (April 18-25), nearly 500 voices have gathered in Washington, D.C., with a singular […]
In a world obsessed with platforms, titles, and perceived influence, we must remember: God is not impressed with our position; He is drawn to our posture. It is not where we sit, stand, or speak that determines our effectiveness—but how we bow in humility, how we listen to His Spirit, and how we live when […]
Originally I wrote and published this as part of a national special edition for The Washington Times at the end of 2015, but I realize today, in 2026, that call is even more urgent. Our world has only grown more unstable, our institutions more fragile, and our need for divine intervention more evident. In the […]
On the morning of April 12, 2026, I was drawn to re-read the books of Zephaniah and Joel. They are two of the books of the Bible that I’ve used in previous writings and articles over the years as lessons to glean from regarding Awakening, In particular the all three chapters of Zephaniah really provoked […]
A Three-Part Holy Week Series PART TWO–GOOD FRIDAY, THE CROSS & THE HIGH COST OF LOVE The cheers of Palm Sunday give way to the silence of Good Friday. Betrayal replaced celebration.

Churches around the world remember this moment through […]
What Micah, Nahum, and the Statutes of Omri Reveal About Leadership, Culture, and the Call to Return to God Across history, societies drift when truth is compromised and leaders pursue power over righteousness. The biblical warnings found in Micah, Nahum, and the legacy of Omri reveal a pattern of generational compromise that can shape cultures […]
One of the most subtle yet destructive sins in the Body of Christ today is the sin of assumption. Assumptions often masquerade as discernment, conviction, or righteous concern. Yet more often than we realize, they produce criticism, division, and discord, the very things Scripture repeatedly warns us to avoid. In Proverbs 6:16–19, we are told […]
The King is Summoning His Bride, His Church…The Bridegroom is Returning In the days of Esther, when all looked lost, God performed a miracle for His people through Mordecai, Esther, and a people who fasted and prayed. Today, Purim celebrates God’s goodness, His deliverance, and His covenant faithfulness. Yet before the celebration came a crisis, […]
The phrase “carnal Christian” has become strangely acceptable in modern Christian vocabulary. In my estimation, it is an oxymoron.
