• Op-Ed: The 5 Biblical Characteristics That Define a Good Person

  02-11-2022 23:42
  We often refer to someone as a “good person.” That compliment is given to someone we like while we still keep in mind that everyone is fallen and possesses a sinful nature.
  That dichotomy begs the question — is our definition of a good person the same as God’s? Just how does the Bible characterize a good person? King Solomon takes up this topic in the book of Proverbs.
  But before we examine what the smartest man who ever lived has to say, a foundation should be laid regar

• Op-Ed: Considering Adoption? Start with Prayer, And Follow God Wherever He May Lead

  02-11-2022 22:47
  It is National Adoption Month, and you are likely to see a lot of people making arguments for — and even against — adopting or fostering children. The visibility of adoption in the wake of the overturning of Roe has the conversation at a fever pitch.
  This conversation is a little foreign, quite frankly. For my wife and me, the choice to adopt wasn’t political in nature. It was personal and convictional at a level that I sometimes struggle to express.

  The White House deleted a tweet Wednesday after Twitter added a “context” note to its claim about a Social Security cost-of-living adjustment.
  The social media giant is undergoing changes after being acquired by billionaire Elon Musk on Oct. 27, and it appears one of them might be a more politically balanced approach to labels on tweets.

  02-11-2022 22:31
  We often hear that dogs are man’s best friend — but there is a deeper truth that many do not acknowledge: A dog is a dog’s best friend. Pack mentality is deeply ingrained in our four-legged friends, and when push comes to shove, they generally favor one another over even their dearest human companions.
  That becomes especially dangerous in attack scenarios. One dog, by itself, can be a threat — but the more dogs involved, the greater the danger.

• The Evidence: Biden Is Trying to Buy the 2022 Midterms

  02-11-2022 22:24
  To Katie Tubb, President Joe Biden’s plan couldn’t be any more obvious going into the midterms.
  Instead of taking the necessary steps to reduce oil prices, in her view, Biden is dumping the government’s strategic petroleum reserve in order to win support for Democrats.
  In October, Biden announced the planned release of 15 million additional SPR barrels in December. The administration already extended SPR releases past the expected end date of Oct. 31.
