The East Plano Islamic Center, or EPIC, is moving forward with plans to construct what many are describing as a “Sharia City” in the Dallas, TX Metroplex called “EPIC City.”
If constructed, EPIC City would be built on a 402-acre site which covers parts of Collin and Hunt counties. The plans also include over 1,000 homes, a mosque, a religious school, a community college, and sports facilities.
EPIC resident Islamic scholar Yasir Qadhi said the plan is to create a “Muslim neighborhood.”
In response to the project, TX Governor Gregg Abbott said, “Sharia law is not allowed in TX.”

DoorDash is partnering with Klarna — the buy now, pay later company — to offer customers the opportunity to finance their food and other purchases.
When customers check out, they’ll soon be able to choose one of several payment options including: “pay in full,” “pay in four equal interest free installments,” or “pay later” which allows customers to “defer payments to a more convenient time” with a bit of interest of course.
Folks, this is crazy! We’ve deteriorated to the place where people are going to put burgers on lay-a-way. Taco Tuesday will become Taco someday?

According to the Wall Street Journal, the Trump administration is moving to freeze tens of millions of dollars in federal family-planning grants to certain organizations, including Planned Parenthood, while it investigates whether these organizations are complying with federal law and the Executive Orders President Trump has signed to date.
The groups were scheduled to receive about $120 million in Title X funds this year. It is well documented that Planned Parenthood, the nation’s largest abortion provider, receives about 40% of its budget from American taxpayers.

There is a critical State Supreme Court election Tuesday, April 1st, in Wisconsin. The race pits Constitutionalist Brad Schimel against Regressive Susan Crawford.
Brad Schimel was the state’s Attorney General, appointed by Governor Scott Walker and he currently serves as a Wisconsin Circuit Court Judge. Susan Crawford was previously the attorney for Planned Parenthood of Wisconsin.
Their views and judicial philosophies are polar opposite of one another.
This race will determine the balance of power on the Wisconsin Supreme Court.
Wisconsin listeners, don’t forget to vote April 1st.

As Solomon pronounced the entire purposed for the book of Proverbs in its first chapter he also noted that a wise man sets himself to hear, to learn, and to increase his knowledge as a result. That wise man, a man of understanding, also affirmatively seeks out wise counsel.
In short, the wise man knows that he doesn’t know it all. As a result, his course is set for continued accrual of wisdom. If you want to be wise, pursue sources of wisdom and learn from them. The greatest available wisdom source is God’s holy word.

In Jesus’ High Priestly Prayer recorded in John 17, He makes the observation that the world would hate His disciples. Yet, He follows that by praying not that His disciples would be removed from the world, but that we would be kept from the evil one.
As difficult as times have become, we Christ-followers must recognize that our God and King saved us and planted us in the world at this time intentionally. It would be an abdication of our assignment to adopt an escapist disposition. We’ve been ordained for this moment.

Paul’s second epistle to Timothy was written near the very end of Paul’s life, while he was incarcerated awaiting an imminent, albeit uncertain execution under Nero.
He begins chapter one of this epistle describing how he prayed for Timothy night and day and how he longed to see him. This reveals a fiber and texture that undergirded their relationship. Paul and Timothy loved each other deeply.
This deep and abiding reciprocal love is necessary to effective disciple making. Knowledge isn’t enough to make a disciple. The love of Christ must abound.

President Trump’s EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin, has announced the largest deregulation action in U.S. history. For years, Regressives have used “the environment” to impose all manner of insane shackles on the American energy and automobile manufacturing sectors. According to Administrator Zeldin,
This is the greatest day of deregulation our nation has seen. We are driving a dagger straight into the heart of the climate change religion to drive down cost of living for American families, unleash American energy, bring auto jobs back the U.S. and more.

First, Ukraine announced its agreement to a 30-day ceasefire in the Russian-Ukraine war proposed by the Trump administration.
Then, Vladimir Putin agreed “in principle” to the 30-day ceasefire, though the details would have to be brokered with the United States. Putin specifically told a news conference in Moscow,
The idea itself is correct, and we certainly support it, but there are issues that we need to discuss, and I thing that we need to discuss it with our American colleagues and partners.
This seems to indicate that peace between the two countries may be on the horizon.

The Oversight Project found an excessive use of autopen signature by Mr. Biden when he was in the White House.
Their investigation gathered,
Every document we could find with Biden's signature over the course of his presidency. All used the same autopen signature except for the announcement that the former President was dropping out of the race last year.
President Trump responded,
The 'Pardons' that Sleepy Joe Biden gave to the Unselect Committee of Political Thugs, and many others, are hereby declared VOID, VACANT, AND OF NO FURTHER FORCE OR EFFECT, because of the fact that they were done by Autopen.
Things are getting interesting. Could this lead to potential criminal prosecution of some of the pardoned?

Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey secured a historic $24 billion judgment against the Chinese Communist Party for unleashing the Schmovid pandemic.
A.G. Bailey said,
This is a landmark victory for Missouri and the United States in the fight to hold China accountable for unleashing COVID-19 on the world… We intend to collect every penny by seizing Chinese-owned assets, including Missouri farmland.
Missouri will now move to collect the $24 billion and, if necessary, work with the Trump administration to identify Chinese owned assets—a critical economic step and a move that bolsters national security.

Over 1,300 people, including Christians, have been killed in Syria. This is the nation Apostle Paul was en route to when he met Jesus and became a Christian.
Before the civil war there, Christians made up 10% of the population. But by 2022, this number had dropped to less than 2% due to worsening conditions. The fall of the Bashar al-Assad regime has left Syrian Christians in uncertainty.
Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard’s warning of a terrorist takeover in Syria seems to be coming true. Newly empowered jihadists are carrying out the massacres.

This is a description recorded in scripture about a man named Hiram. His father was a Sidonian. His mother was an Israelite, of the tribe of Naphtali.
Because God filled Hiram with wisdom, understanding and skill for all manner of metalwork, Solomon summoned him from Tyre to work on the Lord’s temple.
We must understand, embrace and celebrate that God’s granting of wisdom includes our metalworkers, stone masons, carpenters, plumbers, truck drivers and more.
He gives wisdom for daily duty, and we need laborers filled with God’s wisdom.

One of the deleterious consequences of the digital age is that it has given rise to the overwhelming scourge of pornography. It is ensnaring men and women at heretofore unspeakably alarming rates.
But, I want to remind you that Jesus is still in the business of delivering people from the snare of the devil and the bondage of sin. He frees us also from its guilt and shame.
We must, however, accept the free gift forgiveness and set our course, in fellowship with like-minded Believers, to live in the freedom He’s secured for us.
Jesus sets captives free!

During President Trump’s recent address to a joint session of Congress, the typical partisan histrionics were particularly revealing. President Trump predicted Democrats wouldn’t applaud anything regardless of its merits. His prediction came true immediately.
Seated Democrats refused to applaud in support a mom whose daughter was murdered by an illegal immigrant. They refused to applaud in support of law enforcement, arresting terrorists, destroying Mexican drug cartels. They even refused to applaud a 13 year old boy who’s survived cancer. Talk about heartless.
Oh, but they did applaud one thing: hundreds of billions of dollars to Ukraine.
They’re not even pretending anymore.

In a brief unsigned opinion, Chief Justice John Roberts and Justice Amy Coney Barrett joined the regressive wing of the U.S. Supreme Court, in a 5-4 decision, to deny President Trump’s request to freeze $2 billion of USAID spending.
Justice Samuel Alito, joined by Justices Thomas, Gorsuch, and Kavanaugh, wrote in dissent that he was “stunned” that the majority ruled in this case that “a single district-court judge who likely lacks jurisdiction has the unchecked power to compel the U.S. Government to pay out (and probably lose forever) 2 billion taxpayer dollars.”

President Trump’s Department of Justice is dropping a lawsuit filed by the Biden DOJ that tried to force Idaho to allow unborn babies to be murdered.
Idaho passed it’s Defense of Life Act to protect moms and their unborn children, preventing doctors from terminating pregnancies unless medically necessary to save the mom’s life or in cases of rape or incest.
In August 2022, the Biden-Harrises sued Idaho to overturn their law and to force hospitals to murder babies in elective abortions.
The Trump administration, however, has now notified the necessary parties that it is dropping that ridiculous lawsuit. Praise God!

Promise made, promise soon to be kept? The Wall Street Journal has viewed a draft of an Executive Order in which President Trump directs Education Secretary Linda McMahon to “take all necessary steps to facilitate the closure of the Education Department” based on “the maximum extent appropriate and permitted by law.”
Immediately after her confirmation to the position, Secretary McMahon emailed her DOE staff stating that President Trump has “tasked us with accomplishing the elimination of the bureaucratic bloat here at the Education Department—a momentous final mission—quickly and responsibly.”

God initiated human history and defined for all time what marriage is and identified the only two types of candidates that comprise a marriage: one man and one woman. He also identified the archetypical union from which these candidates would derive. The prospective husband and wife both come from the ancestral unit of a Father and Mother.
Though Adam and Eve didn’t have biological parents, this pronouncement reveals God had particularized specifics in mind as to what He ordained Fathers and Mothers to be. Fallenness didn’t change God’s plan.
