A church located in the state of Arizona has filed a lawsuit against the City of San Luis, accusing officials of blocking its charitable food distribution to individuals and families in need. The whole “we’re the government and here to help,” line is one of the scariest things you can ever imagine hearing, especially when you understand that they don’t really plan to help anyone other than themselves by usurping power and authority. First Liberty Institute, a conservative legal firm, in partnership with law firm Snell and Wilmer L.L.P. filed a complaint and request to have a preliminary injunction in…

It’s crazy to think it’s already been 4 decades since legendary Hollywood actor Kevin Bacon got his groove going on the silver screen and became an instant icon for young folk in the smash hit “Footloose.” Talk about feeling old. I remember when the film was being rented at the video store like crazy. Where did all the time go? When the Lord says life is a vapor, He’s not kidding. What’s really cool is that the students who attend Payson High School, located in Payson, Utah, where the original film was shot, did a whole lot of lobbying to…
Popular Christian actor Kirk Cameron is partnering up with his sister, Candace Cameron Bure, in order to hopefully inspire millions with a message of true hope. The duo are now working toward organizing and hosting a benefit concert called “Hope Rising” as a means of raising money to help people negatively impacted by the COVID-19 crisis. This is what being the hands and feet of Jesus looks like. God doesn’t need our good works to save us from our sins. He took care of that through His Son on the cross. Our neighbors need our good works and this is…
One of the most special times of the year for a believer in Christ is Easter. It’s essentially the whole reason the religion exists in the first place. Without Jesus Christ rising from the dead, there’s no salvation for sins. It’s just as critical for the Lord to have risen from the grave as it is that he bore our sins on the cross and died to pay our debt to God the Father. Many will take the week of Easter to reflect on their salvation and what Jesus had to endure in order to make it possible. Which is…
Country music star Luke Bryan lost his brother-in-law, Ben Lee Cheshire, to a heart attack, which is just a few years after Bryan’s own sister, the wife of Cheshire, died. I can’t imagine how difficult this kind of loss must be for someone. Two of the people he was probably the closest to are now gone from his life. Death is such a cruel part of life. Of course, it was never meant to be a part of the human experience, but the sin of Adam and Eve ushered in death as judgment, thus, here we are. Bryan is a…
Hands down, one of the best fast food restaurant chains around is Chick-fil-A. I’m not just saying that because I’m a Christian who loves the fact the company is owned by other believers and closes shop on Sundays to allow folks to attend worship services. They really do have great products and extremely good service. I highly recommend their chicken sandwiches and fries complete with the traditional Chick-fil-A sauce. That being said, the popular restaurant chain just announced that it would be making a shift from antibiotic-free chicken beginning this spring due to supply reasons. This is unfortunate, but what…
Texas Pastor Thomas Wilson recently received yet another reason to give God all the glory and praise after surviving a horrific incident in which he was robbed and shot twice after he refused to allow the gunman to use his phone. The shooter told the pastor of Meadowbrook Baptist Church, “God is not going to bless you tonight.” Well, that’s where this gentleman was wrong. God did bless Pastor Wilson. He kept him alive and thwarted the efforts of this godless, wayward man. I’d say that’s a miracle, wouldn’t you? According to The American Tribune: The encounter happened last Wednesday…
We’re only a few weeks away from one of the most historic astronomical events in American history, which is being called the Great American Eclipse of 2024. This is truly a once-in-a-lifetime deal. Reports have stated that the eclipse will pass over a total of 7 locations called “Ninevah” as it makes its way over the country. It turns out that it will also pass over a place in Texas called “Jonah.” That’s a pretty amazing coincidence, right? Maybe it’s not a coincidence all? God is sovereign over the cosmos after all and we know He always has a plan…
Last week a series of deadly tornadoes swept through the Midwest and left an path of ruin and destruction in its wake. Atheists and those who are haters of God might ask the question why a good Creator who loves His creation would allow something like this to happen? The truth is, we can never know the answer to that question. We have to trust that God has a plan and a reason for ordaining the things that unfold in this life and that they are somehow meant for our good. He sees the full picture of which we are…
As a kid growing up in the 1980s, I was a huge fan of professional wrestling. And, like most young boys at the time, I idolized the very massive, very cool, Hulk Hogan. I had the toys, sweatshirts, head bands, wrist bands, you name it. He was my hero. I looked up to him as the perfect masculine ideal. That, of course, was dumb of me because Hogan is just a man, flawed like everyone else, and certainly not a god as I made him out to be in my idolatrous young heart. But hey, I was only five or…
Chick-fil-A is, in my humble opinion, one of the best fast food restaurant chains in the world, and it’s not just because they are Christian owned and go to the absolute max to provide high quality service and products. The chain also does a ton of charity work and stays closed on Sundays in order to allow their employees to be able to attend church services. In other words, they put their proverbial money where their mouth is when it comes to carrying out the commands of Jesus Christ. And now Chick-fil-A is all set to open up a unique,…
A picture of popular Christian musical artist Jeremy Camp, posted by his wife Adrienne, gave an update on his current condition after being hospitalized and undergoing a procedure for a major heart condition over the weekend. The photo proves that prayer works, it really does change things, and that’s why we should be praying for one another every opportunity we have. Nothing shines forth the love of Christ like bearing each other’s burdens. While performing a concert on Saturday night, Camp experienced a condition called atrial fibrillation, also known as Afib, which is an irregular heart rhythm where the heart…
Popular, some might even say “legendary,” fitness guru Richard Simmons managed to scare the absolute crap out of his fans on Monday after publishing a very dark, cryptic post on social media saying, “I am…dying” before going on to encourage folks to eat healthy foods and to “hug” those they love. Sounds like a short, sweet goodbye note, right? Who wouldn’t automatically assume the worst after reading that? Add this to the fact he’s a recluse who basically never comes out in public anymore and you have a recipe for death rumors. According to NBC News, Simmons later clarified his…
