Summary
President Biden and former President Trump held a ninety-minute debate last night at CNN’s Atlanta studios. Earlier in the day, the Supreme Court issued four significant rulings. Approval of the Court has sunk to historic lows, as has public opinion regarding the presidency. Why is this issue so critical to our future? To wrap up our week-long exploration of why God would allow suffering in the innocent, we examine the role trust plays in how our secular society views God’s people and how Satan uses sin in the clergy to undermine God’s message of love.
