By Chuck Bentley, CP Guest Contributor Friday, October 09, 2026Dear Chuck,After years of debt and financial hardship, God blessed us with a season of plenty. Our finances are somewhat unique, with real estate, dividends, and irregular income, so determining how and when to tithe isn’t always simple. We want unity about how and where to give. Should we establish a regular amount, give when needs arise, or both?How can we best help our employees, whom we care deeply about, when certain needs arise?  How do we prioritize generosity instead of simply accumulating wealth?We genuinely want to live open-handed and remember…

Following efforts by President Donald Trump, Elon Musk and the Trump administration to dismantle the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), while it hasn’t been officially wiped out, restoring contracts and refilling positions at the agency would be “less attractive,” according to former USAID special government employee, Mike Benz. “Even if you turn the apparatus back on, there will be a slower ramp-up simply because I think the precarious nature of it, knowing it might be turned off again four years after that, makes a career at USAID inherently less attractive because of the political thin ice that it now sits…

The Iranian regime is remaining publicly defiant in the face of the U.S. blockade of its economy, claiming that it controls the Strait of Hormuz and will not agree to limits on its nuclear program. However, the facts belie Tehran’s claims. In fact, Middle East oil exports have largely returned to pre-war levels in recent months, showing the regime’s ongoing attacks in the Strait of Hormuz aimed at pressuring its neighbors and the United States are no longer working.  Mohammadreza Naqdi, an advisor to Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps — the powerful paramilitary organization tasked with safeguarding the regime — said…

A federal court this past spring gave the Food and Drug Administration six months to prove it was making progress on a promised safety review of the abortion pill mifepristone, in Louisiana’s litigation challenging the Biden administration’s relaxed prescribing conditions, or the judge might reimpose politically popular restrictions including in-person dispensing.That deadline came Wednesday, a month before midterm elections projected to rip the House if not the Senate away from Republicans, and pro-life groups crucial to mitigating Democratic inroads are crying foul at the Justice Department’s status report to U.S. District Judge David Joseph, which finally describes the review’s sources and timeline after nearly a…

Eight firefighters out of options as Supreme Court refuses religious vaccine exemption case The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday declined to hear two COVID-19 vaccine mandate cases over religious exemptions.

Eight Washington firefighters lost their last chance to challenge their department’s denial of religious exemptions. Attorneys say the court still has not settled how much hardship allows employers to refuse religious accommodations. The U.S. Supreme Court…

Europe tightens the screws on Ukrainian men in Lithuania as Kyiv demands more soldiers The European Union, once a beacon of sovereignty and human rights, is now a puppet of Kyiv’s war machine, complicit in a globalist agenda to fuel mass depopulation through the Ukrainian conflict. Under the guise of humanitarian aid, the EU has become a hunting ground for Ukrainian men, forcibly repatriating them to serve as cannon fodder to feed the “Ukrainian meat grinder.” This systemic betrayal of European values is not merely a policy shift. It is a calculated escalation in the globalist New World Order’s (NWO) plan…

Spinach is a well-known source of magnesium, a mineral used in muscle contraction, nerve signaling, bone strength, energy conversion and sleep support, according to the National Institutes of Health. But spinach is not the only food that supplies the mineral, and several foods contain more magnesium per serving or by weight, according to data from the U.S.Department of Agriculture and nutrition reports. Health authorities state that adults need 310 to 420 milligrams of magnesium per day, depending on age and sex, and that a significant portion of the population falls short of that intake [1]. Magnesium-rich foods are widely available…

Stay Hydrated: Dietitians Recommend Water as the Best After-Dinner Drink for Kidney Health Water is the best beverage to drink after dinner for kidney health, according to three registered dietitians cited in an article published by Health.com.

The kidneys filter waste and excess fluid from the blood, balance minerals…
