Jesus' words, 'Judge not that you be not judged,' urge us to self-assess before offering righteous judgment. It's an invitation, not a prohibition, to judge wisely based on God's Word.

Freedom, as defined by Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr., hinges on the laws of the land to avoid anarchy.

What would you pay for your liberty? The freedom we enjoy came from the payments of a previous generation. Many have paid for our liberty with their life. Restoring liberty lost comes at a very high price. The highest price ever paid was paid by Jesus Christ on the cruel cross of Calvary.

A prevalent issue observed by educators, counselors, and ministers is the absence of fathers at home, leading to problems among children. This deficiency disrupts God's original design of a home, as described in Genesis 2, which includes both a father and a mother.

The New Testament book of Philemon displays equality through Christ, transcending racial differences. The Gospel brings masters and slaves together as equals. The Gospel of Christ is the sole foundation of equality. Atheistic evolution does not teach equality, yet it is being taught in our schools, which is why America is having trouble. God created us equal with a longing to be free indeed. Read...

When mothers falter in their divine responsibility, it mirrors in the chaos of society. Remember,...
