Thousands of people were baptized over the weekend in what is being called the world's largest synchronized water baptism.

On Pentecost Sunday, over 27,000 people from coast to coast across the United States were baptized through Baptize America, a movement to unite the church across denominations and work together towards a common goal.

Those baptisms were broadcast live on social media.

"From coast to coast, heaven is rejoicing," said Baptize America. "This is more than a moment, it's a move of God!"  

Ottawa’s efforts to prepare the country for the impacts of climate change have stumbled out of the gate, Canada’s environment commissioner said Tuesday.

The federal government is moving to shore up a historically weak summer job market for students — even as one economist argues tough employment prospects for young people suggest broader softness in the job market.

Statistics Canada shone a light on the difficult employment prospects for students heading back to school this fall in its May jobs report last Friday.

Proverbs 16:16

Foolish indeed is the person who considers himself safe and sound because he has money...

And another reason it's foolish to trust in riches for security is that money, in the final analysis, brings no lasting satisfaction, certainly not in the area of things that really matter. There are many things that no amount of money can buy.

Think of it this way:
