As the Louisiana legislative session begins, we're diving into the most pressing bills that could shape the state's future—covering everything from energy and national security to parental rights and governmental transparency. Stay informed and engaged as we track legislation that impacts your liberties and your community.

SCRIPTURE OF THE DAY:

Romans 2:4-8 TPT "Do the riches of his extraordinary kindness make you take him for granted and despise him? Haven't you experienced how kind and understanding he has been to you? Don't mistake his tolerance for acceptance. Do you realize that all the wealth of his extravagant kindness is meant to melt your heart and lead you into repentance? But because of your calloused heart and refusal to change direction, you are piling up wrath for yourself in the day of wrath, when God's righteous judgment is revealed. For: He will give to each one in return for what he has done. For those living in constant goodness and doing what pleases him, seeking an unfading glory and honor and imperishable virtue, will experience eternal life. But those governed by selfishness and self-promotion, whose hearts are unresponsive to God's truth and would rather embrace unrighteousness, will experience the fullness of wrath."
