Cyber Monday and Cyber week are finished. This week, we had our first real taste of winter and Minnesota weather ...read more

    As a nation, state, and people, we know debt. In Romans 13, Paul calls us to have one more debt: love one another.

    Being in debt is never fun, nor is it easy. As a country, we know what it is like to be in debt. Our national debt is astronomical. It is roughly 19 trillion dollars. If you were to break that down, that would be $61,000 per citizen, or $165,000 per tax payer. This debt is also not going down ...read more
