The U.S. Senate has approved legislation that suspends the trillion-dollar debt ceiling while also slashing federal spending.

Florida governor Ron DeSantis officially launched his 2024 presidential bid on Wednesday, promising to lead "our great American comeback."

You are a missionary to where you are and to when you are. It is by divine providence that you were not alive a century ago or a century from now (if the Lord tarries). Embracing your identity as the child of God and your calling to help others know God is the foundational decision you must make each day.

The innovations of Christian nationalism, on the other hand, should give us pause.
