Montana Governor Greg Gianforte has signed five pro-life bills this week.

“We think there can be a restoration of faith in America, and we think getting [the] Ten Commandments on these walls is a great way to do that. … We think we can really set a trend for the rest of the country.” Matt Krause, a former state representative and current employee of the First Liberty Institute, made that statement when he testified before the Texas Senate last month in defense of a bill that would require public schools to post a copy of the Ten Commandments in every classroom from kindergarten through high school. The bill passed earlier this week and is expected to go before the State House of Representatives soon.

The reasoning behind the legislation is that the Ten Commandments played a key role in the development of America’s founding documents and, as such, should be considered historical in nature rather than strictly religious. As one might expect, not everyone agrees with that assertion.

Arguments over the value of the proposed law could prove irrelevant, however, if the Supreme Court decides that it is unconstitutional.

President Biden is calling on people of faith to pray for God’s blessings on America, saying in his annual National Day of Prayer Proclamation that prayer “can move mountains” and has “empowered” the nation’s moral movements.

Tennessee’s governor and attorney general say they will defend a lawsuit by the Biden Department of Justice against a new state law that bans transgender treatments on children and teens under 18.

Joe Biden and Donald Trump are the leading contenders for their parties’ presidential nominations, but most Americans don’t want either to run, according to a series of new polls.

The path to our best future lies not through the voting booth or the Oval Office but at the “throne of grace” (Hebrews 4:16). Only Jesus can forgive our sins, save our souls, and transform our lives. Only he can make fallen people holy. But because he honors the freedom he gave us, he waits to be invited onto the throne of our hearts.

Pastor and author David Platt says in a new book that too many Christians have bought into a political-centric “false gospel” that has led to discouragement and division within the church and has pushed younger generations away from Christianity.

Fox News announced on Monday that it has parted ways with major opinion host Tucker Carlson. Not long after this announcement, CNN announced that it had fired its own opinion host, Don Lemon.

President Joe Biden has announced that he will run for re-election in 2024, setting up a possible rematch with Donald Trump.
