"Hallowed be Thy name" (Matt. 6:9). Sound theology that results in holy living hallows God’s name. We have learned that hallowing God's name requires setting it apart from everything common, and giving Him first place in our lives. That starts with believing He exists. Hebrews 11:6 says, "He who comes to God must believe that He is." Beyond mere belief, you must also know the kind of God He is. Many people who claim to believe in God aren't hallowing His name because they have erroneous concepts of who He is. The Israelites thought they were worshiping the true God...

Sharon Stone revealed that she lost “half” of her fortune, presumably in the Silicon Valley Bank collapse. The “Basic Instinct” star broke down in tears as she accepted the Courage Award during the Women’s Cancer Research Fund’s (WCRF) fundraiser Thursday and said it took “courage” for her to donate given the bank’s failure. “I know that thing that you have to get on and figure out how to text the money is difficult. I’m a technical idiot, but I can write a f–king check,” she said from the stage.

MOUNTAIN VIEW, CA — Local leprechaun, pot o' gold enthusiast, and all-around jokester Leery O'Canahan had been excited for St. Patrick's Day for months. "It's like our Super Bowl," O'Canahan told reporters. "Without the weird halftime shows." But this year it's not all drinking and shenanigans for this leprechaun. He'd entrusted all his pots of gold to Silicon Valley Bank after the investment strategy was recommended to him by Jim Cramer on Mad Money. As his deposits were worth far more than the FDIC-insured $250,000, it's now unclear if he'll ever get his money back. "It seemed like a sure...

The family of Theo Emm, aged three, have said they had only just welcomed baby brother Oliver into the world days before the tragedyA family of a three-year-old boy have told how he wanted to watch cartoons before suddenly collapsing and dying of Strep A without having shown symptoms. Theo Emm died at his home after falling seriously ill with the "silent killer", on February 18, having shown hardly any signs of illness. He had been a "bit lethargic" the night before but was feeling better by the time he went to bed. The family from Westbury, Wiltshire, had only...

Motorcycle to the U.S., But it's Not What You Think The small-displacement Harley-Davidson X350 RA will only be used in dealership training schools. It won't be offered for sale to customers. Harley-Davidson’s image is as star-spangled as anything. And in 2023, that presents a challenge: Building motorcycles in the U.S. is expensive. So when Cycle World published evidence that seemed to indicate Harley was about to import a made-in-China motorcycle to the U.S., Harley fans got notably concerned. The truth is perhaps less scary: Yes, Harley is going to import the Chinese-made bike you see above to the U.S., but...

Tributes have been paid after a 'lovely' dad died in bed as friends desperately try to raise money for his funeralA dad with "a heart of gold" died suddenly on a weekend trip to Butlins, his grieving family has said. Jonathan Gelling visited the Somerset resort with partner Caroline Conway and friends for a weekend away to watch the UK Open darts tournament earlier this month. But while staying at the family destination, 41-year-old Jonathan tragically died overnight in his bed. Caroline told how darts fan Jonathan had watched the first round of a match on Friday, March 3, before...

Explanation: Braided and serpentine filaments of glowing gas suggest this nebula's popular name, The Medusa Nebula. Also known as Abell 21, this Medusa is an old planetary nebula some 1,500 light-years away in the constellation Gemini. Like its mythological namesake, the nebula is associated with a dramatic transformation. The planetary nebula phase represents a final stage in the evolution of low mass stars like the sun as they transform themselves from red giants to hot white dwarf stars and in the process shrug off their outer layers. Ultraviolet radiation from the hot star powers the nebular glow. The Medusa's transforming...

As former President Donald Trump faces likely criminal charges, his campaign is preparing to wage a political war. With an indictment looming from the Manhattan district attorney, Alvin Bragg, Trump’s campaign is laying the groundwork for a broad attack on Bragg, a Democrat. According to two of Trump’s political allies, the campaign will aim to portray any charges as part of a coordinated offensive by the Democratic Party against Trump, who is trying to become only the second former president to win a new term after leaving office. It is unclear what data points, if any, the Trump team plans...

Picture this: It's 9 p.m. on January 13, 2026 — a Tuesday — and you tune in to your favorite cable-news network to watch the president's annual State of the Union address. But this year, the president doesn't take a bulletproof limo from the White House to the US Capitol. Gone are the hundreds of members of Congress traditionally in attendance. Instead, the commander in chief is wearing an orange jumpsuit, his message streamed to lawmakers and into your living room via Zoom from his prison cell. Yes, this scenario is equally far-fetched and outlandish — in the extreme. But...

"And he said, Abba, Father, all things are possible unto thee; take away this cup from me: nevertheless not what I will, but what thou wilt. "And he cometh, and findeth them sleeping, and saith unto Peter, Simon, sleepest thou? couldest not thou watch one hour? Watch ye and pray, lest ye enter into temptation. The spirit truly is ready, but the flesh is weak." " And he that doubteth is damned if he eat, because he eateth not of faith: for whatsoever is not of faith is sin." Mark, Chapter 14 1 After two days was the feast of...

Cardinal Müller: The Pope should co-ordinate the defense of humanity, because totalitarian transhumanists are very organized For his tenth anniversary on the throne, Pope Francis gave so many interviews that it is difficult to navigate. This is why we are publishing this very explosive interview

Biosphere 2, located in Oracle, Arizona, is a 3.14 acre (1.3 hectare) controlled environment that researchers have used for various projects. The giant enclosed glass dome, constructed between 1987 to 1991, contains a variety of environments including rain forest, savannah, desert and even oceans. (snip) As these different environments were created, the researchers made an interesting discovery. When they planted various types of trees, they found in this perfect environment the trees grew much quicker than they did in the wild. However, before the trees reached their full size, many toppled over or began to lean. They wondered why this...

I'M BACK!

A government-linked academic group pushed Twitter to censor factually correct stories about Covid-19 if they risked “fueling hesitancy” about vaccines, according to the latest batch of internal documents released by the platform’s new owner, Elon Musk.

Originally written and performed in 1916 as a play called Trifles, “A Jury of Her Peers” appeared in Everyweek on March 5, 1917, and became Susan Glaspell’s best-known story... (snip) Martha and Mrs. Peters, the female sleuths in this story (which actually may be viewed as a form of detective fiction), examine the kitchen and, through such evidence as jam jars, quilts, an empty bird cage, and, finally, a dead bird, deduce the loneliness, poverty, and emotional devastation of Minnie Foster’s marriage. The loud, heavy footsteps of the men punctuate the two women’s gradual understanding that Minnie Foster murdered her...

Investors appear unconvinced that plans to shore-up First Republic and Credit Suisse will stave-off contagion in the banking sector.First Republic (FRC) shares were halted from trading again Friday, after resuming their recent slump, following a coordinated rescue of the San Francisco-based lender late Thursday was marred by concerns over the strength of its balance sheet.

First Republic said in a Securities...

Distressing TikTok footage captured the moment an upset teacher quit her job and marched out of a classroom while saying: 'I'm just a stupid old white lady.' The woman, who has not been identified, looked distressed as she started to pack up her belongings before storming out of the classroom. Initially pupils can be heard laughing, before a male voice says 'woah isn't no way' as she continues on her outburst. It is unclear which school or even where in the US the incident took place, with text over the top of the footage saying 'they made the teacher leave'....

OAKLAND, Calif. - A Vacaville man was killed while allegedly stealing a catalytic converter in Oakland, according to police and media reports. The coroner on Wednesday identified the man as 35-year-old Eric Chabot.

Dr. Anthony Fauci is back. And he’s warning Americans that Covid boosters will likely be ‘required’ for the foreseeable future.“Yeah, well, that — that leads to the question, Joe, and we’d like the answer from you, Dr. Fauci who you’re the pride of Holy Cross college,” ex-Boston Globe writer Mike Barnicle said.“And I don’t believe you were in medical school with Ted Cruz or Jim Jordan, but how many booster shots do you think we will be getting, there’s one available now, but how long in the future will we be getting booster shots?” he snidely added.“You know, we don’t...

There’s a growing divide between the rank-and-file officers of the FBI and upper management, according to FBI agent-turned-whistleblower Steve Friend, and it’s those at the top who are pushing a political agenda. “I spent close to nine years in the FBI, spent a good chunk of my time just keeping my head down and working the cases in front of me,” Friend noted in a March 14 interview with NTD News, The Epoch Times’ sister outlet. “There are a lot of agents that sort of share that sentiment and just want to drive the mission forward. Unfortunately, there’s a big...
