Will 2026 repeat 2020?

So far 2026 has begun to look a lot like 2020. President Trump has thoroughly confused democrats and detractors with his actions here at home as well as around the world. He is wickedly unpredictable! None of his...

For the past 25 years God has been loudly calling America to repent and return to Him. Actually, God has never ceased calling us to return to Him over the past 250 years. Our founders recognized God as "the Supreme...
