Are works required to be saved? If not, then what does James 2 mean about faith and works? Does saving faith produce change? What is the easiest way to start and lead a home group that shares the grace message? Does 1 Timothy 5 mean that I have to financially support parents that have been unhealthy or abusive to me? How do I do the honorable thing without being consumed with bitterness or resentment?
It's been another week of deranged comments and posts from the President. This time he has targeted Pope Leo by accusing him of being weak on crime and catering to the radical left. Mr. Trump followed up by posting an A.I. image of himself as Jesus. The outrage was swift, including from his own MAGA supporters, but are they actually to blame for his messianic self-image? On Palm Sunday, the Pope said Jesus does not hear the prayers of those who wage war. Most assume he was referring to the Secretary of Defense's wrathful prayer for U.S. troops in Iran. Defenders of Pete Hegseth's prayer say he was just quoting the Bible, so what's the problem? Bri Stensrud, the director of Women of Welcome, explains why conservative evangelical women are rising up to support the dignity of immigrants and refugees even as many of their churches remain silent. Also this week—caffeinated cocaine sharks are roaming the Caribbean.

Karen Park on Imprecatory Psalms:
There have been more salvations in the last year than any other time in Odyssey history. Wyatt, Carla, Ron, Jules, Buck, and Renee all came to faith in Christ. Writers Marshal Younger, Phil Lollar, and Kathy Buchanan unpack the story behind the salvations.
Listen to today's Laugh Again with Phil Callaway, "A Real Kick in the Head." Enjoy!
We are incarcerated by our past. Our low road choices, our high minded pride. We have been found guilty. Our executioner’s footsteps echo against stone walls. We sit on the floor of the dusty cell, awaiting our final moment. We don’t look up as he opens the door; we know what he’s going to say. “Time to pay for your sins!”
But we hear something else. “You’re free to go. They took Jesus instead of you.” The door swings open and the guard barks, “Get out!” And we find ourselves shackles gone, crimes pardoned, wondering, what just happened?
Well, grace just happened. Christ took away your sins. Romans chapter 3 explains that God in his gracious kindness declares us not guilty. For God sent Jesus to take the punishment for our sins. We are made right with God when we believe that Jesus shed his blood, sacrificing his life for us. What happened? Grace happened!
