Texans’ right to free speech is under attack…again
Texans’ right to free speech is under attack…again
Americans’ right to speak their minds is considered sacred, which is why we must fight to protect the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution and the Texas Citizens Participation Act. Both measures were carefully written with protection of the individual – the “little guy” – in mind. They’re designed to give a David a fighting chance if he finds himself in a legal duel with a Goliath. 10/02/2024 11:00 PM

Live the life of the new man, made from inside out
Live the life of the new man, made from inside out
New Things. Normally new things are good things. Take for instance, Christmas and birthdays. Who doesn’t enjoy receiving new presents? As children we want new toys. As teenagers we want new computer games or the newest technology. But as we get older, we appreciate new clothes because we want to look nice and sharp and presentable before others. Maybe we’ve come into a new job, which might mean a new location, new friends, and new challenges. How about new beginnings? And these too, may mean new challenges, hopes, and dreams. In the Orient, it is a custom in some places that when the new year comes around, windows and doors are opened and old things of the past year are thrown out into the streets so that room can be made for new things to replace the old. Paul tells us in 2 Corinthians 5:17 that when a person comes to accept Jesus Christ as their Savior, he becomes a “new creation; old things have passed away, new things have come.” Of course, he is talking about our new life in Christ. In the book of Romans, he says that our “old man, our old way of living has died, and we are given a new way of living instead.” 09/26/2024 11:41 AM
