But there is a deeper need within everyone, a thirst to be right with God, that no app or gadget can fulfill. How ironic that Jesus, the great Thirst-Quencher, would Himself be thirsty. It was part of the great exchange—His temporary thirst enabled yours to be quenched eternally!

A welcome ruling from the Supreme Court on puberty blockers. A lot of mystery surrounding the Minnesota shooter who killed a state lawmaker. More Christians killed in Nigeria. And John and Maria reflect on the tenth anniversary of Obergefell.
