PLYMOUTH, Mich. -- In the face of staggering statistics revealing the devastating impact of preventable causes on millions of children worldwide, NorthRidge Church is joining forces with Feed My Starving Children (FMSC) to launch an ambitious initiative—packing 1 Million Meals over three days.
Every year, children succumb to preventable causes such as pneumonia, diarrhea, malaria, and undernutrition, with hunger accounting for nearly half of deaths in children under five. The heart-wrenching reality is that at least 6,200 children perish daily due to undernutrition-related causes.
The Four Chaplains also referred to as Immortal Chaplains or the Dorchester Chaplains, were four Chaplains who died rescuing civilian and military personnel as the American troop ship SS Dorchester sank on February 1943. This has been referred to as the second-worst sea disaster of World War II.
Members of the South Carolina General Assembly are seeking to pass legislation that would implement ranked-choice voting (RCV) in the state. The General Assembly must reject RCV and the detrimental effects it would have on election integrity.
House Bill 4022 (H.4022) is sponsored by one Democrat and one Republican — a “bipartisan” bill that pushes South Carolina and its voting standards away from sound, Americanist principles.
If enacted, this bill would allow municipalities to implement RCV — labeled “instant runoff voting” in the bill — in their own elections. This would be a major step, and a slippery slope, toward RCV in all South Carolina elections.
BIRMINGHAM -- In 2003, the Ten Commandments monument was ordered removed from the State of Alabama Judicial Building. Now that the right to honor God has been restored, we are petitioning the Alabama Supreme Court to restore the Commandments back to where they belong.
"We are thankful the US Supreme Court has acknowledged our right to honor God, who is the source of our liberty, in the public square," said Dean Johnson of RestoreTheCommandments.com. "We are calling on the Alabama Supreme Court to restore the Ten Commandments right back to where they sat before it was removed by an unjust, unconstitutional court order. Because this is a national matter, we urge all Americans of good will to sign the petition at http://restorethecommandments.com/.
KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- When lifelong Kansas City Chiefs’ fan, Ed Van Buskirk, saw Hallow’s 30-second Super Bowl commercial he was overjoyed. “It was inspiring that millions were invited to stop and turn their focus to God, as we approach the holy season of Lent. As thrilling as it is that my Kansas City Chiefs have won the Super Bowl two years in a row, I consider turning America’s focus back to God the greatest of all victories yesterday.” Van Buskirk is founder of If U Love Me, who is on a mission to restore God’s Ten Commandments where he says, “Our culture has hit an all-time low, both morally and spiritually.”
Last week in my article on Yemen and the Houthi rebels, I gave some statistics on Yemen in the first paragraph. Ita population is 34.5 million. More than 99 percent are Muslims, of which about 58 percent are Sunni Muslims and 42 percent are Shia Muslims. The Shia Muslims are overwhelmingly of the Zaydi branch, which is closely associated with the Houthi rebels. The average annual price adjusted GDP is only $2,053. The literacy rate is about 70 percent.

Judicial elections that were expected to occur today in the S.C. Legislature have been postponed indefinitely, the apparent outcome of a threatened filibuster last year by a state senator pushing for judicial reform.
But whenever the next elections are held, lawmakers could put a former longtime legislator on the bench – in keeping with their longstanding practice of favoring ex-lawmakers and others with legislative ties for court seats.
Ex-House member and attorney James Smith of Columbia, who was the unsuccessful Democratic nominee in the 2018 governor’s election, is the sole candidate for a 5th Circuit Court seat after the only other nominated candidate dropped out – a common move before elections by nominees after tallying expected legislative votes.

“Are these the shadows of the things that will be, or are they shadows of things that may be, only?... Men’s courses will foreshadow certain ends, to which, if persevered in, they must lead. But if the courses be departed from, the ends will change….Say it is thus with what you show me.”
So said Ebenezer Scrooge to the “Spirit of Christmas Future”, in Charles Dickens’ classic 1843 novel, “A Christmas Carol”, one of his most popular and enduring books, one that pierced the souls of middle and upper class Victorian England, and forced them to confront how they treated the poor and overworked lower classes, and especially the children of those classes, in a country that changed the world in so many respects, but found it difficult to change how the people of England treated each other, at a time when the “Chartist Movement”---a leftist/socialist/Marxist style “people’s movement”, probably organized by descendants of Adam Weishaupt’s Satanic “Order ofIlluminati, raged throughout portions of Great Britain, and Christianity was still the prevalent religious and societal mandate among the proud middle and snobbish upper classes, at least on the surface.
Sixty-six prospective students competed for North Greenville University’s (NGU) highest merit scholarships during Scholars Weekend in Tigerville.
The invitation-only event was held January 26-27 and featured interviews with faculty, staff, and alumni; campus tours; a facilitated group discussion; and a dinner with NGU President Dr. Gene C. Fant, Jr.
“Scholars Weekend is an important part of our academic calendar,” President Fant said. “It provides us with an opportunity to build relationships and connect with some very bright students that will soon be joining us and continuing the tradition of academic excellence on our campus. We are excited to see what God has in store for this group students as they become the transformational leaders we know they will be.”
This represents just a small sample the evidence for Biblical Creation. As this column proceeds more and more examples will be made available. The problem is that the people who claim that there is no evidence simply reject the evidence that exists. They do so in part because those that they see as experts do not accept it, and they are convinced that those “experts” are correct and also that they are objective. They often claim that if the evidence was there, it would be accepted. The problem is that the way these so-called experts handle evidence presented contrary to their standard views, they react in a way that shows a lack of objectivity.
Nobody likes paying fees. A fee, however, is a transparent way to reflect the price of something. And in a market economy, prices convey vital information that consumers and producers use to make good decisions. A rise in the price of apples tells producers that consumers want more apples. This prompts more apple production (and eventually, lower prices). And so, when political interference keeps prices from fluctuating freely, the result is inefficiency and waste.
The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB), calling the prices of bank overdraft protection "junk fees," now proposes to interfere with these prices.
2nd Vice Commander Bobby Davis speaking about United States relations with China. Meeting held at American Legion Rudolf Anderson Jr. Post 214, 3110 Wade Hampton Blvd., Taylors, SC.
One sign that a philosophy is true is that it is able to give definitive explanation to all possible false philosophies. True philosophy, as a component of a broader Christian wisdom that encompasses all that created man can come to know in this earthly life, can both highlight a true conception of creation and the error of anti-Biblical evolutionist theories and assumptions. A correct understanding of creation is the key to truly understanding, then refuting, and then finally dismissing evolutionist delusion.

The $1 billion taxpayer-funded gift that S.C. lawmakers last year approved for the Scout Motors electric vehicle plant was seven times more than what officials in Mississippi, which lost out to South Carolina, were willing to offer in state grant funding through special legislation, records obtained by The Nerve show.
And, in addition to the vehicle assembly plant, Scout Motors, which German-based Volkswagen created in 2022, sought Mississippi incentives for a battery cell production “giga” factory, according to the company’s incentives wish list, known as a “request for proposal” (RFP), which The Nerve obtained earlier this month from the Mississippi Development Authority (MDA) under that state’s open-records law.
Over the years, I've offered many explanations about why the trajectory of the national debt is deeply troubling. At this point, though, my worry isn't rooted in a dogmatic adherence to the principles of a balanced budget. Nor does it come from my desire for a smaller government. Instead, I'm alarmed by politicians' unwillingness to look at the numbers and have a serious discussion about changing course.
When I first started paying close attention, the U.S. was essentially carrying a credit-card balance of 40% of America's GDP. Today, according to the Congressional Budget Office, that balance hovers around 98%. Imagine credit-card debt equal to your yearly salary, interest costs piling up and more inevitable debt coming your way. Congress doesn't seem to mind, which partly explains why even optimistic scenarios project the debt to soar to a staggering 180% within 30 years.

Some 1,000 Black pastors nationwide are reported to have weighed-in to pressure President Joe Biden to force a ceasefire in the war in Gaza.
According to one pastor, the war "has evoked the kind of deep-seated angst among Black people that I have not seen since the civil rights movement."
And per another, regarding the Palestinians, "we see them as a part of us ... They are oppressed people. We are oppressed people."
LOVES PARK, Ill. -- A Ukrainian couple facing their own life-and-death battle with advanced cancer are helping others suffering from anxiety and despair on the frontline of the Israel-Hamas war.
Ukrainian-born Jew Yura, 51, and his wife Luda, 53, who has undergone major surgeries and multiple rounds of chemotherapy to treat Stage 4 cancer, left Ukraine to live in Israel, only to find themselves facing Hamas' rockets — and a devastating medical diagnosis.
Initially, doctors gave Luda only 3-6 months to live. But she has defied expectations, with doctors saying her condition is currently stable — a "miracle" that she attributes to answered prayer.
The couple — their last name withheld for security reasons — serve as Christian missionaries supported by U.S.-based Slavic Gospel Association (SGA, www.sga.org) in the Israeli city of Ashkelon, just 8 miles from Gaza. Ashkelon has come under attack since the war started last October.
There is a lot of information swirling around the “Constitutional Carry” bill passed by the SC House and recently amended by the SC Senate. But one change made by the Senate isn't getting the attention it deserves.
If this bill passes as is, members of the General Assembly will be exempt from punishment if they violate gun laws.
FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. -- The Institute for Faith & Culture added Tim Tebow (photo) to an already impressive roster of speakers for the 2024 Kingdom Come Conference. Held March 14-16 at Coral Ridge Presbyterian Church in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, the Kingdom Come Conference is designed to help individuals delve into the heart of issues plaguing our society and equip them with the intellectual tools, spiritual guidance and unwavering conviction to stand firm in the faith amidst the shifting cultural landscape.
It's a miracle of private sector innovation and the magic of the free enterprise system that technologies that were only the playthings of the super-rich a generation ago are now available and affordable to almost all Americans.
Back in 2000, only half of Americans had internet access. Now it's 92%. Today, nearly 19 out of 20 adults have access to the internet on their smartphones. Does this sound like a market that needs assistance from the government?
If you answered yes, you also probably believe that Al Gore invented the internet.
