In a pagan society, the demonic prey on the innocent for momentary gratification.
From Meg Basham:
"The letter Laken Riley wrote, on the advice of her church small group leader, to her future husband:
"To my future husband,
I want you to know that I'm thinking about you. I'm working every day to become the best wife I can be. I'm working through my current relationships to best prepare me for our's and our kids' one day.
I'm focusing on God and what He defines as a faithful Christian life, so that I can best embody those characteristics. I pray that you know it is with my full faith and trust in God that I know this relationship has been handcrafted by Him.
I pray that we continue to glorify the Lord, prioritizing Him in every aspect of our lives, and raise our family, our future family, to be God-fearing Christians as well. I pray God is at the center of our relationship, as it is a gift from Him. I thank Him for you before I even know you
and can't wait to love you in the best way I know how for the rest of our lives.
I pray you know and feel the importance of my love and hopes for our relationship. No matter what challenges we face, I pray that our trust in God and love for one another overrules the obstacle.
May our relationship last forever,
Your future wife, Laken"
She deserved to have this marriage, these children, this faithful Christian life.
It was stolen from her. It was stolen from a man who should have had the opportunity to love her as his wife and from the children who should have had the opportunity to love her as their mom.
Christians should stand up and say no more to the toxic empathy that allows lives like Laken's to be stolen."

The narrow strait is the most important chokepoint for the world's oil supply. Some 21 million barrels — or $1.2 billion worth of oil — pass through the strait every day.
Will a closed Strait hurt Iran? In terms of international oil sales, yes, but in terms of daily life, no. Iran pumps 3.5 million barrels of crude oil per day. The situation at this hour:
