Remember the old saw about the salesman who loses money on every sale but thinks he can make up the shortfall by selling in volume?

Air Force Under Attack for Helping Salvation Army Provide Christmas to Needy Kids

The Military Religious Freedom Foundation has engaged in some pretty despicable behavior over the years — from demanding that the Baby Jesus be removed from military bases to complaining about Bibles on Missing Man tables.

The erosion of what many Americans once believed were the foundations of our country continues apace.

The Christian Duty to Pray for Rulers

Christians have a duty to pray for their rulers. This Biblical injunction found in both the Old and New Testaments is both a command and an opportunity.
