Reflections We have just celebrated an event that took place in history over two thousand years ago. We call it "Easter," although my preference would be to call it "Resurrection Sunday." It is a celebration of incredible hope because it promises eternal life to anyone who will believe and trust in Jesus Christ.

Proverbs 16:25 says, "There is a way that seems right unto man, but the end thereof are the ways of death." Let's put that into...

The United States has done mor...

Many may not remember their basic U.S. History courses as to why the Second Amendment exists in the first place. Certainly, when enacted, there was no thought of restricting type of firearm, or where or who could carry. So its placement as the second most valued freedom in the Bill of Rights had nothing to do with personal safety or hunting, these were already assumed. It was specifically placed right after freedom of religion, speech, press and assembly to make certain that these freedoms were never taken from us. Our Constitution was founded...
