“At that time Jesus went through the grainfields on the Sabbath, and His disciples became hungry and began to pick the heads of grain and eat. But when the Pharisees saw this, they said to Him, ‘Look, Your disciples do what is not lawful to do on a Sabbath’” (Matthew 12:1–2). Keeping the Sabbath was still a binding ceremonial duty for the Jews of Jesus’ day, but most of them had little idea of God’s original purpose for the day. Instead of being a day of rest, it had become a day of burden with thousands of man-made restrictions. Ironically...

The prodigal son needed what the apostle Paul calls a “renewing of the mind.” This wayward son had a mindset of condemnation and was nervous about going back home. These words from the parable, though, show his father’s mindset: “But the father said to his servants, ‘Bring out the best robe and put it on him, and put a ring on his hand and sandals on his feet’” (Luke 15:22-23, NKJV). Today we have the same dilemma. Our Father rejoices over us, embracing us with loving arms. Yet we are sure that humility means digging up our past sins rather...

DOHA, Qatar (AP) — Germany’s opening World Cup game against Japan will set the tone for the rest of the tournament — both for the team and the fans who may or may not be watching at home. Germany’s buildup to Wednesday’s game has been fraught by fan protests, political statements, calls for a boycott and underwhelming performances from a team still trying to rediscover its spark following a surprising group-stage exit as defending champion in 2018. It was the first time the four-time champions were ever knocked out of the competition in the group stage. “We all know that...

Katelyn Boss is a 22-year-old server at a sports bar in Salt Lake City, Utah. She thought it was a waste of time at first. The tips were bad, and her base wage was $2.13 an hour. Then she tried putting her hair in pigtails to get higher tips from male customers — and it worked. When I first started working as a waitress at a sports bar and grill, I was struggling to make tips. It almost felt like I was wasting my time. I was making so little money, because the minimum wage in Utah for tipped employees...

Kansas City Fed President Esther George should be celebrated for being honest about how the Federal Reserve works. One of them was Esther George, the president of the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City. George then did something unusual in an interview with National Public Radio: She told the truth about what the Fed does. “We see today that there is a bit of a savings buffer still sitting for households, that may allow them to continue to spend in a way that keeps demand strong,” she said. “That suggests we may have to keep at this for a while.”...

The horrific shooting at Club Q in Colorado Springs that left five people dead and many more injured was stopped by a couple of heroes at the venue. But as we’ve gotten used to, there were ghouls attempting to score political points before all the facts were known.

Ice Cube is confirming The Hollywood Reporter’s story about the star losing an opportunity to make $9 million because he wouldn’t get a COVID-19 vaccine.

During his disastrous tenure as Disney CEO, Bob Chapek oversaw a near-complete wokification of the once-beloved company with his aggressive pursuit of far-left causes, including transgenderism and the sexualization of children’s entertainment. As a result, shares of the Walt Disney Co. are in the toilet and the previously invincible company is facing an uncertain financial outlook, with layoffs and hiring freezes on the horizon. On Sunday, the Walt Disney Co. shitcanned Chapek after just two years on the job. But don’t expect a political reversal under old-now-new boss Bob Iger, who will no doubt push Disney even further left. Iger,...

resident Biden’s backers are laying the groundwork to discredit and downplay any forthcoming revelations from Hunter Biden’s laptop after House Republicans announced plans to launch a federal investigation last week. Ron Filipkowski, a former Republican and now ardent Democrat who pledged this month that he will be "forever grateful" to President Biden for saving the country from a second Donald Trump term, issued a tweet thread Monday arguing that while he has admittedly "avoided" the Hunter Biden subject for "a long time," there is no evidence to tie the first son’s business dealings to the president. "It’s quite clear that...
