| Rubio Bill Would Restrict Gender-Confused from Military Service |
| by Dan Hart |
| On Thursday, Senator Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) introduced legislation that would prevent individuals who identify as transgender or who have gender dysphoria from serving in the military, with some exceptions. Rep. Jim Banks (R-Ind.) introduced companion legislation in the House. The lawmakers have emphasized that the bill's purpose is to help the Pentagon stay focused on "military readiness" and not on complications that ensue from gender confusion in the ranks. |

So today I brought an excellent representation ... from one of the books that was just recently purchased for our libraries." He barely made it three sentences before the vice president of the board ordered him to stop. |

| From the Mountain to the Mundane: How to Make Revival Last |
| by Jared Bridges |
| If you were reared in evangelicalism, revival is a familiar term. In my childhood, so-called "revivals" were typically a pre-planned week of special services where an itinerant preacher would come to the church and give nightly evangelistic messages. Truth be told, these "revivals" were planned to fuel actual revival, but they in themselves weren't revival. |
