"[Love] bears all things" (1 Cor. 13:7). Love confronts sin but protects the sinner. In 1 Corinthians 13:7 Paul mentions four qualities of love that are closely related: bearing all things, believing all things, hoping all things, and enduring all things. That might sound like love is indiscriminate and accepting of anything that comes along, but "all things" in that verse is qualified by the context. Love rejects jealousy, bragging, arrogance, and so on (vv. 4-6), but it bears, believes, hopes, and endures all things that are within the parameters of God's Word. "Love bears all things" speaks of love's...

TRUMP IS OUR PRESIDENT NOW!

A man who killed two rescue workers in a head-on DUI collusion is about to be paroled from prison after serving less than half his sentence — unless Governor Gavin Newsom steps in to stop it. I was in the rescue vehicle that day, and I barely survived. I’m speaking out because my colleagues can’t. On July 17, 2004, the San Gorgonio Search and Rescue Team was en route to search for a missing 17-year-old male in Joshua Tree. A driver, Joseph Tidwell, 35, was under the influence of methamphetamine when he passed out, crossed the center line, and struck...

Iran’s supreme leader is under mounting pressure over the war — as the regime’s grip on the Strait of Hormuz weakens, cash finally starts to get tight and top political leaders publicly urge the Islamists in charge to find a way out of the conflict. The latest phase of the conflict has seen more and more ships quietly slipping through Hormuz, with nearly 200 vessels sailing through the strait last week, according to data from the UK Maritime Trade Operations Center. The flow represents a 400% spike in the last two weeks, with maritime analysts Kpler noting that the traffic...

Daily Readings from the USCCBFeast of Saint Bartholomew, ApostlePhilip found Nathanael and told him, “We have found the one about whom Moses wrote in the law, and also the prophets, Jesus son of Joseph, from Nazareth.” But Nathanael said to him, “Can anything good come from Nazareth?” Philip said to him, “Come and see.” John 1:45–46The name “Bartholomew” is listed in the Synoptic Gospels as one of Jesus’ chosen Twelve Apostles.

Former NBA center Enes Kanter Freedom, who is trying to make his way into women’s basketball, was escorted out of Wintrust Arena during the third quarter Sunday after a heated shouting match with Chicago Sky guard Natasha Cloud

We have seen protesters on the left around the country mocking the assassination of Charlie Kirk, even reenacting his murder. Hate traffickers like Jennifer Welch have even justified his assassination. It is all shocking and depressing, but none reached the level of Hasan Piker leading a huge crowd in mocking Kirk and his faith. Before he was murdered, Kirk debated Piker and called him a “socialist hypocrite.” What is shocking is not the utter depravity and cruelty of Piker, but the ecstasy of the crowd in relishing the death of someone with opposing views. It is part of the conditioning...

Israelis across political and religious lines are worried about the weakening connection with younger Jewish Americans — who, according to a recent AP-NORC poll, tend to consider support for Israel less crucial to their Jewish identity than older adults. “It’s extremely important to us,” said Itai Nixon, who leads the diaspora department for Israel’s Diaspora Affairs Ministry. “We’re the state of the Jewish people, not just Israelis.” Lesley Sachs, who has protested the current Israeli government and chairs the Israel Movement for Reform and Progressive Judaism, also considers a close relationship with diaspora Jews a “strategic asset” for both Israel...

Iran's Parliament speaker has issued an unusually stark warning about the country's deepening economic troubles, declaring that even a powerful military cannot protect the Islamic Republic if its people are hungry and the economy continues to deteriorate. Mohammad Bagher Qalibaf, one of the country's most senior political figures, made the comments during a meeting with Iranian and Iraqi economists in Baghdad, according to Middle East news outlet Al Bawaba. "No matter how strong our military power becomes, if we are hungry, we will not be able to endure," Qalibaf warned, according to the report. The comments represented a striking acknowledgment...

Keith Moon was never interested in playing the drums like everyone else. The legendary The Who drummer, who once jokingly called himself “the best Keith Moon-type drummer in the world,” would have turned 80 today, Aug. 23, 2026. Born in 1946 in Wembley, London, Moon became one of rock’s most distinctive and influential drummers before his death at just 32. The Who’s official biography describes him as one of the most influential drummers in rock history. Moon joined The Who in 1964 after an impromptu audition and quickly developed a style that was almost impossible to mistake for anyone else’s....

The monument is called Thunderhead. The cylindrical shell is broken open by a thundercloud. Visible from the inside are thousands of tiny mirrors. And when no longer hidden, they sparkle with light. For Wayne Davis, and the other Canadians purged from the military, RCMP and civil service for their sexuality between the Cold War-era and 1990s, the monument sheds light on the discrimination of 2SLGBTQ+ people during Canada's history. "The visibility of the monument I love. People are not going to forget the glitter," Davis said, shortly after it was officially unveiled in Ottawa on Friday. Davis says he also...

Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union,” former Vice President Mike Pence said “the last thing we need right now, as our economy is getting back on its feet, is a trade war with Canada.”Host Dana Bash said, “I want to ask you about something a little closer to home in the U.S., and that is the renewed trade war between Canada and the U.S., going dollar for dollar on 50% tariffs. Trade talks collapsed on Friday night. The Canadian prime minister blamed unfair last minute demands by the U.S., saying the administration asked too much and offered too little,...
