The Most Consequential Christian Liberty Case – Denny Burk: One of the most important religious liberty cases in a generation will come before the Supreme Court on Tuesday. Hobby Lobby and Conestoga Wood Specialties will be making their final appeal for an exemption from Obamacare’s coercive ‘contraceptive’ mandate.”

Top Children’s Books of 2013 – Have you wondered what kids are reading these days? Here are the top kids’ books from 2013.

A man’s destiny on Judgment Day will depend not on whether he has known God’s will but on whether he has done it.
