Victories - The Rev. Dr. Herschel Wade

May 11, 2025 

 

Collectively, we are unraveling morally and spiritually. It has gotten so bad that no one is safe from moral decay. The dark clouds are so thick, they touch everything. People claim to be saved but wish for another to die. Others gloat about blessings and watch others starve. Did we forget that someone died so that we can live?

 

Are we not disciples of that very person whom we have forgotten? Friends, something has gone very wrong. He who died for us seems to be hard to find right now. At the polls we make choices that we know will literally hurt others. We make phone calls that we know can literally kill someone. We seek victories that wreak of self preservation, self-righteousness, self satisfaction, and self delusion.

 

We even cheat for victories that leave specific populations without rights, without dignity, and without hope. We should know better because these victories look like nothing of those of God, but instead, they are corrupted with darkness, revenge, and taunts. These victories are awarded to the complicit, that sit silent, they're privileged, and they're hypocritical.
