Are angels walking among us? Matthew 18 talks about handling a rift between believers. Does it only apply within the same church or does it apply to the church at large?

I’m a new Christian. How do I use the “s...

The Biden administration officially abolished Title IX as we knew it because they have decreed that sex is the same thing as gender. (We all know that gender is a made-up term the left is using to hijack women's spaces and women's sports.)

There seem to be a lot of off limits areas where Christians shy away from filling the spaces, leading the conversations, saying the hard things.
