Using a sensitive but no nonsense tone, Benjamin Watson delivers a timely, thought-provoking, and gospel-centered commentary on race in America.

Some newlyweds may not be in need of typical wedding gifts. What are some useful gifts to give in these circumstances?

Today’s post is from AnneMarie, a guest contributor from Sacrifice of Love. As summer begins each year, my refrigerator typically begins to showcase at least one or two wedding invitations.

Many of our loved ones who suffer from chronic diseases would be encouraged by care packages. What sort of items would benefit them the most?

Living with a chronic disease means facing many challenges.
