Kamala Harris owns the Biden Administration’s baggage and is an avowed radical,” Thielman explained in the...

“Now for this very reason also, applying all diligence, in your faith supply moral excellence” (2 Peter 1:5). God’s provision does not preclude our responsibility. There are some who believe that since God has provided everything needed for the Christian life, believers should expect Him to do everything for them.
