Is #BaltimoreMom Really the Mother of the Year?
Am I the only one who sees that the emperor once again has the backside of his hospital gown flapping open?

Read MoreThe Fault Is With the Salt
In attempting to discern the true root of a nation’s problems, it’s important we begin by differentiating between cultures that have never been transformed by Christianity and those that have.

Have you every noticed how the Book of Acts just kind of….ends? It’s almost as if Dr. Luke got an emergency call while working on chapter twenty-eight and had to quickly bring it to a close.
