God Trumps Man: Why Biden-Harris are Perfect for the Church
I feel good right now! Though, I must admit, I do find my joy a little peculiar. I didn’t expect I’d be so elated to finally have Joseph Robinette Biden, Jr. and Kamala Devi Harris-Ermhoff as leaders of our nation...and the free world. As I watched the swearing in ceremony during the inauguration, I found myself rolling my eyes and sucking my teeth as each took oaths to “faithfully preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States” so help them God.
So help them…God. Ha! Mmcht!
If their policy positions hold true during their term, they’re about to rip the U.S. Constitution to absolute shreds!
And yet, here I am, typing up this article filled to the brim with peace and joy in the Lord Jesus Christ. Indeed, the Holy Spirit MUST be at work in my heart. He truly does give us peace that surpasses all understanding. Though, if the Lord would allow me, I will attempt to explain how my unexpected jubilation came to be.

S2RR: Why I Renounced My Letters in AKA (REPLAY S1E5)
#KamalaHarris is energizing quite a few “minority” intersections within the electorate as #JoeBiden’s VP pick.
She’s a woman and an HBCU graduate (Howard University). She’s also “Black” (Jamaican), “Asian” (Indian) and “Greek”...and by “Greek”, we mean she’s a member of a Greek-lettered organization. In addition to the ethnic and educational diversity Harris brings to the Biden ticket, her membership in Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc (AKA) is also a major selling point amongst some minority voters.
S2E7: Black Card Revoked
"Black Lives Matter! Wait...Where is the Church?"
Anytime the world experiences the unfortunate consequences of sin or the effects of its fallen state, one of the first questions posed is, “Where is the Church?” :
As a Christian, it’s tempting to be flattered by this inquiry, as one could surmise it means the world actually cares for our input. But, considering the world is also quick to tell the Church to “shut up” whenever we do speak, I perceive “Where is the Church?” is meant to be more of a scoff than an invitation.
Fast forward to today, when the national and global discourse concerns not only racism, but “systemic racism”, “police brutality”, and so forth. With the ongoing protests, marches and civil unrest since the death of George Floyd, “Where is the Church?” has rang out yet again! But this query is not only coming from those in the world. Professing Christians are also posing this question, and they are indignant in their demand for a response.
To be fair, wherever the Church is falling short, it is necessary for us to hold one another accountable to ensure we remain on task with what God would have us do. But that’s just it: Oftentimes, “Where is the Church?” comes not because the Church is altogether missing or silent in the things of God, but because the Church isn’t in the places the world would have us go or speaking the words the world would have us speak. And, frankly, I’m afraid there is a growing trend among some in the Church to hold the Body of Christ to these lesser, earthly standards. Sadly, in an increasing number of cases, these standards are actually panning out to be unbiblical and atheistic. (Critical Race Theory, Marxism, and Black Liberation Theology have entered the chat.)
But if they truly want to know where they can find the Church in the midst of earthly affairs, I hope the foregoing is a sufficient response. I also offer this piece as an encouragement to those in the Body who choose to set our eyes on things above, not on things of the earth (Colossians 3:2).
