This government shutdown continues today, even as threats against the United States grow. It persists as Democrats’ President Autopen’s open-border policies allowed all manner of jihadists, weirdos, pedophiles, and even innocent child slaves to vanish within what are now hardened U.S. borders. And now, the attack on Iran has intensified the risk of an attack on America's homeland. Let's take a moment to appreciate this irony...

Consequently, many who say they trust in God actually live as if they don't need Him at all. Such...
