Community centers are also where many organizations meet, and families hold family celebrations like birthday parties and reunions. As we are told,...

America is an experiment that is failing…badly. The “melting pot” is melting. People who were once strangers in a new land are treating strangers as if they don’t belong here. The notion that God set aside this land called America for one particular race to dominate is, at its best, ludicrous. Yet, that is what we hear from political leaders to religious leaders, and none of them quote any scriptures to support those ideas. Nevertheless, that’s what the founders envisioned even, as we are told by some political leaders who talk as if they heard...

Last week my mom and I decided to take a workout walk in our neighborhood. I wore a long sleeve sweat suit and hat. On our first trip on our route, we alternated, walking side-by-side and behind one another. We were about 5 minutes away from home when two cars were coming up from the direction behind us. One was going at the speed limit, and another vehicle behind it ignored the double yellow lines, sped up to pass the front car, and almost swiped me as I was in the opposite lane with no oncoming traffic. I was so close to the car only a few...
By grace, we are saved through faith. It is the gift of God, not of our works (Ephesians 2:4-10).

God has called men and women to holiness, giving the believer (Christian) power, love, and a sound mind and wisdom from heaven (1 Timothy 1:7)....
