by Suzanne Bowdey |
It was an image no mother should have to see - a long white hearse carrying the body of her young, once-vibrant daughter. A cold rain fell in Georgia, mixing with the tears of crowds who gathered to watch Laken Riley's casket leave for the cemetery - a place no one imagined she would be. "I really just have no words," her mom, Alysson Phillips wrote on Facebook. Neither do any of us. This was, as she wrote painfully, a "senseless and avoidable tragedy." |

AG Garland: Voter ID Laws Are 'Discriminatory, Burdensome, and Unnecessary' |
by Dan Hart |
On Sunday, U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland delivered an address at a church service in Selma, Alabama in which he characterized state election integrity laws designed to verify mail-in ballots, restrict drop boxes, and require voter ID as "discriminatory, burdensome, and unnecessary." Experts say the attorney general's comments do not line up with the views of a supermajority of Americans and that the Biden administration is intentionally undermining election integrity efforts ahead of the November elections. |

God-Given Rights and 'Christian Nationalism' |
by Rob Pacienza |
Heidi Przybyla's comments reveal the true agenda of many progressives today: to acknowledge no authority higher than the state and no legitimate rulers other than secular progressives. After all, if God is removed as the source of rights, the only source left is the state itself, governed by secular ideologues who are determined to rid our nation's legal and political institutions of any transcendent vestige. |

If You Want to 'Always' Have a Defense for Faith, Then Reject the Lie That Theology Is Just for Scholars |
by Sarah Holliday |
"Everybody's a theologian." That's the title of a book written by a beloved teacher I refer to often, R.C. Sproul. At first glance, it may seem like a bold statement. But I think, in taking a few steps back, it's actually quite relevant - especially for believers. |
