Trump and North Korea

OK, some of you may know  that I call things the way I see it (but almost always in love per the guideline from Paul to “speak the Truth in Love!”)

President Trump usually doesn’t get praise from me.

However, I have to admit that I’m encouraged by the recent chain of events with North Korea.

I’m still puzzled by what’s going on with Kim Jung Un in his recent overtures for peace.  They certainly seem to be considerable conciliatory gestures he is taking (to formally end the Korean war, to end his nuclear arms build-up, to release American and potentially release South Korean prisoners, etc.).  So, at face value all seems to be headed in a positive trajectory.  Still, I am uncertain as to what caused this rather radical change of heart and will adopt a cautious but optimistic mindset about this situation.

Does Trump deserve all the credit?  I don’t think so but I think he deserves some credit for not spouting his mouth off and calling Kim Jung Un “Little Rocket Man.”  (I know, I know, my bar is set SOOO high these days – pardon my sarcasm =)

Still, in all seriousness, it is refreshing to see Trump show some restraint and not bad-mouth someone.  I hope he can continue this positive trend in his “presidential” behavior.

What do you think?

*** October 4th, 2026 *** 

Can you believe fall is here?  All Hallow’s Eve and Thanksgiving is just around the corner.  We wish you the wonderful opportunity to experience God’s beauty with the changing of the leaves and colors of His amazing creation!

Our prayer here at the LIGHT! is that you would experience God’s love and reflect the light of Jesus to all whom the Spirit brings into your life.  In excelsis Deo!

Please pray for the war that we are undertaking with Iran right now.  Pray for the soldiers who are in harms way and for the family of those who’ve fallen.  Pray that we would be able to achieve peace and be clear about why we are there.

Please continue to pray for our divided country.  May not only the Truth of Jesus prevail but also the “truth” of reality.  Helping Americans to focus more on solving problems using facts rather than debating even what the facts are is much more productive.  Let the politicians focus on *policy*.  We, as the Church, should focus on our *culture* and not depend on policy to define culture.  As we have said many times, “you can’t legislate morality.”  We can, however, be “winsome” as the Bible encourages us to be, and “win some” of our friends who are not yet believers to the faith!

Please pray for peace in the Middle East between Hamas and Israel.  We unequivocally support Israel’s right to defend itself.  We support non-Hamas affiliated Palestinians who want peace – they need humanitarian relief.  Israel should not be oppressing these folks.

Continue to pray for the Ukraine & Russian people suffering under Putin. Please pray for President Trump to stand against this aggression and to ensure the continued aid for the Ukrainians to keep fighting for their independence from the authoritarian regime of Vladimir Putin. 

*** Based on your feedback we will shift to hosting the services online even after the risk of COVID has lessened ***

Services
Our current focus is on learning more about “Welcoming the Stranger” – God’s heart for us as His people in how we show hospitality to those who are aliens in our land – status notwithstanding.

Looking forward to seeing everyone there!
