We always seek to eat fresh things. When we reach for an apple at the grocery store, we always feel around to make sure we grab one that isn’t bruised or spoiled. Processed foods, including canned foods, crackers, juices, cured meats, and breads also come with “use-by” dates stamped on them. Most foods either mold or taste horrible if you try to eat them after the expiration date. Not only do expired goods taste awful, but they can also make us extremely ill. On the other hand, some foods will keep well if they are preserved or kept frozen, but...

I was worshipping God on our drive, and I looked over at some trees. Some were damaged by a storm; some were still standing. The Father began to speak to my heart. He said that as these trees are, so will man be. There is a mighty shaking coming, and EVERYTHING rooted IN HIM will remain, BUT anything not rooted in HIM will be uprooted and broken. There are trees that stood right next to each other, UNTIL the storm came. They all appeared to be standing strong, UNTIL the wind blew. Those trees...

As Matthew Sims fought to prove his innocence in the judicial system, the notion that the prosecution wouldn't push for a date to try him convinced Sims that he could prove his case based on the discovery evidence given to him by the prosecution. Sims had to file numerous motions, which were objected to many times by the prosecution. Sims was so convinced of proving his innocence that he would ask the assigned judge to hear his case to set trial dates, but the prosecution kept asking for a stay or delay, perhaps in an effort to frustrate Sims....

Louisiana Governor Jeff Landry is about to get the fight that he says he is ready for. When Landry signed a law that would require the Ten Commandments to be posted in public school and university classrooms, he knew that there would be opposition. Never mind the fact that court rulings have gone against such measures citing the separation of church and state against establishing a "national" religion. Conservatives like Landry still persist in having it their way. The bill that Landry signed into law would require (demand is a better word) tha...

By Pastor K.C. Wade Then the three companies blew the trumpets and broke the pitchers—they held the torches in their left hands and the trumpets in their right hands for blowing—and they cried, “The sword of the Lord and of Gideon!” Beloved the Lord is Gracious and Faithful to us.

Gideon was outnumb...

Hello everyone! This week I will be discussing growing up. I recently watched the movie "Inside Out 2". I distinctly remember watching the first one. The person who watched the first "Inside Out" is still there, but she's grown up, physically and mentally. She no longer plays with Barbies or begs to go to the toy aisle of a store instead she begs to go to the skin care aisle of the store and waits in anticipation as a new video game date is dropped—the same little girl who'd rush straight h...

The Carroll mystique was set long ago and remains in the hearts of those who witnessed its glory then and now. This is why we still sing praises to Carroll High School. One individual who...
