"This I pray, that your love may abound still more and more in real knowledge and all discernment" (Phil. 1:9). Christian love operates within the parameters of Biblical knowledge and spiritual discernment. As a Christian, you are a repository of divine love. More than anything else, your love for God and for other believers marks you as a true disciple of Jesus Christ (John 13:35). In addition to possessing God's love, you have the privilege and responsibility of expressing it to others on His behalf. That's a sacred trust. Paul qualifies it in Philippians 1:9, which tells us love is...

Republican Steve Hilton has opened up a surprise lead in the California governors race, according to a new poll. The Fox News contributor and staunch critic of Gov.

California officials who turned a blind eye to unemployment scams — potentially worth tens of billions of dollars during the pandemic — will now be put directly under the microscope of the federal government. The US Department of Labor is set to send a letter to the state’s Employment Development Department announcing a “strike team” will soon be touching down in the Golden State to root out theft and abuse, The California Post has learned. The investigation will be similar to efforts currently underway in Minnesota. “Financial issues and potential fraud in California’s unemployment insurance program will be fully examined,”...

Part 1 of "The Man with the Midas Touch" Donald Trump receives a tip from a suspicious informant (Bill Clinton) that the evil supervillain Porge Poros is plotting a sinister scheme.

A senior US senator clashed with Danish and Greenlandic leaders on the margins of the Munich Security Conference last week, refueling fears that the US appetite for the Arctic island has not faded. Tensions in US-Danish relations had calmed after Donald Trump walked back threats to deploy military force to acquire Greenland and to impose tariffs on eight European countries that were deploying troops on the island. But during a meeting with the two European leaders — Denmark’s Mette Frederiksen and Greenland’s Jens-Frederik Nielsen — Republican lawmaker Lindsey Graham warned that if Trump wanted Greenland, Washington could simply take it,...

We have great news to share with you! Last week, the Lynchburg City Council voted 4–2 to pass a new zoning ordinance that places commonsense limits on where abortion facilities can operate . The measure requires any abortion clinic to stay at least 1,000 feet away from schools, churches, and neighborhoods, and requires a special use permit before any facility can open. This ordinance will go a long way in helping Lynchburg become a Safe Zone for Life ! This ordinance does not ban abortion, but it ensures that communities have a voice and that vulnerable neighborhoods, families, and children...

White House economic advisor Kevin Hassett said Wednesday that the authors of a recent New York Federal Reserve paper that found U.S. companies and consumers are shouldering most of the tariff burden should be “disciplined.” In a CNBC interview, the National Economic Council director ripped the report, saying that central bank researchers ignored key aspects of how the duties worked and instead simply focused on prices. Hassett said the research also should have included the upward impact on wages and benefits that U.S. companies see by bringing more production onshore.

The Garden of Eden. The place where God created humanity and where the serpent tempted Adam & Eve to rebel. This is perhaps one of the most well-known places mentioned in the Bible. But what exactly was the Garden? Was it simply a place that humanity was tasked to take care of or was it something more significant? On the surface, one can conclude that the Garden of Eden was simply a paradise. The Greek Old Testament (known as the Septuagint) uses the Greek word paradeisos, which is where we get the English word paradise.[1] It was taken from the...

However, this is going to be bad news for enthusiasts and consumers. Although many people prefer SSDs for most electronics, there is still a market for consumer hard drives, especially for use in NAS systems and long-term data storage. But the massive demand brought by the AI infrastructure buildout is causing shortages even for this component. Many HDD models have surged in pricing already, with costs jumping by an average of 46% since September 2025. PC hardware shortages are only getting worse as the AI race continues. What started as a memory and storage chip shortage has soon spread into...

O'FALLON, Mo. — A Florissant woman is questioning why her fiancé was detained by ICE following a routine traffic stop in St. Charles County. “I’ve never been this worried,” Victor Lopez de Lara’s fiancée said. “I’m devastated. I’m scared of what can happen.” According to his fiancée, Victor Lopez de Lara was driving to Troy, MO, to work when he was stopped by O’Fallon Police. “They said he had no front plate on his van,” Lopez de Lara’s fiancée said. “They asked for his driver’s license, but because he’s undocumented he had no driver’s license.” After being taken in on...

Planned Parenthood has a new term for men. And as the abortion giant has done with women and unborn children, it’s totally de-humanizing. “People who carry sperm.” Sorry men, that’s all you are. You have no value or worth to the Planned Parenthood abortion business other than the biological fact that you carry sperm. Oh and mentally ill women who irrationally think they’re men and somehow contort their bodies surgically to make it possible to construct a fake penis capable of handling semen are also “people who carry sperm.” Never mind that they’re not actually men. In a recent announcement...

A Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) pastor who volunteers as a chaplain inside a Planned Parenthood abortion biz told his congregation that women terminate pregnancies out of love and high regard for the value of new life. Rev. Marvin Ellison, retired professor of Christian ethics at Bangor Theological Seminary and pastor at First Congregational Church in South Portland, Maine shared the remarks during a sermon drawn from his experience as a volunteer chaplain at the facility. “Women terminate pregnancies for the very same reason that under other circumstances, they carry pregnancies to term and give birth,” Ellison said. “Because of love, because...

Before it collapsed, that sewer line carried up to 60 million gallons of waste daily from Virginia and Maryland to a water treatment plant...

On Monday night, while talking to reporters aboard Air Force One, someone asked President Donald Trump about Cuba. "They'll make a deal," he said. "Cuba is right now a failed nation, and they don't even have jet fuel for airplanes to take off. They're clogging up their runway. We're talking to Cuba right now." But what he said next caught my attention: "I have Marco Rubio talking to Cuba right now." .@POTUS: "Cuba is, right now, a failed nation... We're talking to Cuba right now. I have @SecRubio talking to Cuba right now, and they should absolutely make a deal...

Shocking images and reports of dogs being killed in Morocco have drawn global scrutiny of a campaign linked to the country's 2030 World Cup preparations. (Snip) Animal welfare organizations have released images and testimony alleging Moroccan authorities are using harsh methods, including clamping dogs by the neck, loading them into trucks and poisoning or shooting them before disposing of their bodies in mass graves. A report published last month described Marrakech, expected to host World Cup matches, as a 'kill center', where canines were transported in white vans and processed in warehouse facilities fitted with meat hooks and washable flooring....
