The Founding Fathers of the U.S. made the freedom of religion conspicuous by making it the first amendment to the Constitution: “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof…” The Supreme Court has ruled recently in several cases to uphold people of faith, but threats exist to change that protection.

By Dr. Don Bierle, FaithSearch President
I doubt if I have heard a newscast in the last few months without hearing the word “death.” COVID-19 has put death on most people’s mind—worldwide. The only place you can go to get good news about death today is the teaching of Jesus in the Bible:
