The Lord recognizes the work of his own hands, and he won’t accept a man-made replica of any of his divine workings. Why? Because it’s impossible for man to duplicate what is truly...

n Friday evening, a federal appeals court reinstated Texas’ “heartbeat” abortion law after a lower court issued an injunction blocking the enforcement of the law this week, as Rebecca reported. The Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals issued an administrative stay, halting U.S. District Judge Robert Pitman’s ruling on Wednesday which granted a temporary injunction over the law, S.B. 8.
