There is a lot of confusion about America's form of government that has led and is leading to all sorts of bad decisions: Are we a democracy or not? Is the church to stay out of the public square or not? What were the Framers thinking when they drafted the Constitution?

In this second part of Pastor Matt Sturdevant's discussion with Historians and Educators Carla Holiday and Josh Hofford, the record gets straightened out on these questions and more.

Three servants were given different amounts of money and depending on their investments determined if they heard, "Well done," or "Get out," from their boss. What does this parable mean for our relationships ith Jesus?

While there is a real, if not painful, weight that we feel when we carry financial debt, there is an even great weight we have with God that could be called our "sin-debt." God, through Jesus, provides forgiveness of our sin-debt, that that forgiveness should change us somehow... but how?
