Second Lt. Thomas Kelly died in a WWII bomber crash in 1944. This week, he was buried on Memorial Day in Livermore, California. Why is his sacrifice and that of his fellow fallen heroes eighty years ago still so poignant today? President Reagan once said that soldiers who’ve died for our country gave up two lives: the one they were living and the one they could have had. Today’s article reflects on our burden and privilege of living the lives they could not and our responsibility for remembering them by redeeming their sacrifice.

Mission: Impossible—The Final Reckoning is filled with incredible (even terrifying) stunts and astounding cinematography. Tom Cruise succeeds once again in his iconic role. On Memorial Day, our nation rightly remembers and honors the more than 1.1 million Americans who have died in military service to our nation. If you know someone who died in war or their grieving family and friends, this day is deeply personal for you. If you do not, it is about our fallen heroes across our history and the cause for which they sacrificed their lives. What is that cause?

Two young adults were killed outside the Capital Jewish Museum in Washington, DC, on Wednesday night. The fact that a man claiming to support Gaza can murder a German-born Christian and an American with many Palestinian friends shows how nonsensical antisemitic hatred truly is. And it’s why we need to live every day ready for eternity. What happened in Washington could happen to anyone, anywhere. We only have today to be right with God and to use our influence to help those we know do the same.

South African President Cyril Ramaphosa’s meeting with President Trump yesterday began well enough. Ramaphosa brought two South African golfers, Ernie Els and Retief Goosen, to help break the ice before the conversation moved to a bit of foreign policy. However, things took a turn when a reporter asked what it would take for Trump to recognize that there was no “white genocide” in South Africa.

President Trump announced yesterday that the US will spend $25 billion in initial funding for a “Golden Dome” hemispheric missile shield. Mr. Trump said the project will cost around $175 billion and added that it would be operational by the end of his time in office. Here’s the frightening reason: the risk of nuclear war is higher than at any time since the end of the Cold War. Such massive threats can feel overwhelming. However, there’s an antidote to such discouragement, one as close as tonight’s sky.

Former President Joe Biden made headlines over the weekend with the announcement that he is battling “aggressive” prostate cancer, news that should lead us all to pray for his recovery and for God’s strength for him and his family. In recent days, Mr. Biden’s health has also been in the news on a very different level, one that illustrates a fact relevant to us all.

Former President Joe Biden has been diagnosed with “aggressive” prostate cancer, according to a statement his office made yesterday. The statement added that his diagnosis included “metastasis to the bone.” Characterized by a Gleason score of nine out of ten, it is classified as “high grade” and could spread quickly. Mr. Biden and his family are reportedly reviewing treatment options, though his office added that the cancer is hormone-sensitive, meaning it likely can be managed.

In his 2024 book The Third Awokening, Eric Kaufmann described his damaging personal experiences with the liberalism and cancel culture of “woke” ideology. A year later, he is able to write a new Wall Street Journal article titled, “Welcome to the Post-Progressive Political Era.” In his article, he asks, “We are leaving the age of progressive confidence, but what will replace it?” The question is obviously critical to our national future. You and I can answer it in the only way that changes souls and transforms culture for the glory of God. But what does that look like, and where do we start?

President Trump’s visit to the Middle East marks the first major foreign trip of his second term. That he chose meetings with Saudi Arabia, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, and representatives from the surrounding nations over America’s more established allies should not be overlooked. Yet throughout the proceedings, one nation was notably absent: Iran. Their exclusion is perhaps the most significant indication of what Trump and his new friends in the region are hoping to accomplish.

Mark Rothko’s abstract art reflects a culture defined by emptiness, subjectivity, and the search for meaning within ourselves—yet that search often ends in despair. Please take just a moment to look at it, While his work captures the spiritual hunger of a broken world, a surprising shift is unfolding. Many in Gen Z are rejecting hollow self-expression in favor of lasting truth. The path forward isn’t more religion—it’s a relationship with the risen Christ, who alone brings light to our darkness and hope that transcends the canvas of our lives.
