President Obama was re-elected for a second term last night, and an exuberant base of supporters dreamed of progress in the coming four years.
Obama’s acceptance speech, and Romney’s concession speech had under-tones of faith and hope as they expressed a willingness to work with each other in Obama’s second term.
As Mitt Romney delayed conceding the victory too long for some, he took the stage in defeat graciously. “This is a time of great challenges for America, and I pray that the president will be successful in guiding our nation.” Continue reading
The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has officially reported what Liberty Counsel has been saying all along: The IRS is not auditing churches because it does not have the authority to take away churches’ tax-free status.
For years, leftist groups, such as Americans United for the Separation of Church and State (AU), have used deception and fear tactics to censor the church and muzzle pastors.

The cover art for rap artist Jayceon “Game” Taylor’s upcoming album is stirring up controversy because it portrays Jesus Christ as a gang member.
The artwork for the upcoming “Jesus Piece” album shows a stained-glass image of Jesus Christ, who is wearing a gaudy gold chain and a red bandana – often associated with the Bloods street gang. The depicted Jesus has a teardrop tattoo on his face – often a sign that the person wearing this tear drop has committed a murder. The album’s title is written as “Je5us Piece,” with the number five also being a symbol of the Bloods, and there are marijuana leaves on both sides of Jesus’s likeness. Continue reading
