The Daily Article

After a second batch of classified documents was found in the garage at President Biden's home in Delaware, pressure on the president continues to escalate with many comparing his mistakes to those of former President Trump. Politics is hardly the only place where we see that pattern, though. Why is it that we are tempted to pull ourselves up by dragging others down? And what does God's word have to say on the subject?

Prince Harry’s autobiography “Spare” is now the UK’s fastest-selling nonfiction book. Patti Davis, daughter of President Ronald Reagan, regrets the tell-all she once wrote about her family. Today, she would “respectfully” suggest this lesson to Prince Harry. We should likewise heed her advice because how we treat others is inevitably how the world will treat us. Are we following Jesus’ Golden Rule?

According to a new report by the nonprofit child advocacy group Common Sense Media, 73 percent of US teenagers seventeen years of age or younger have viewed online pornography. It is a tragic fact that our secularized postmodern culture has desacralized life from conception to death. Seen in this light, the ever-spreading plague of pornography is unsurprising. When a culture abandons biblical morality and objective ethics, tolerance becomes the de facto rule of the day. The good news is that the good news of the gospel gives meaning to life that can be found nowhere else.

The Georgia Bulldogs repeated as national champions last night with their 65–7 win over the TCU Horned Frogs. The championship game is currently played each year in the month of January, which is named for Janus, a Roman god who is typically depicted with two faces—one looking into the past, the other into the future. We name months for the same reasons we want our teams to win national championships: we name what we seek to control (time, in this case) and we feel like winners when our teams win. These sentiments reveal a truth that is foundational to our lives, our democracy, and our future.

As Buffalo Bills player Damar Hamlin recovers from his near-death experience, our culture witnessed an outpouring of prayer in a public forum. As WSJ columnist Barton Swaim wrote, “Suddenly prayer was back on the list of things anybody could talk about or do on camera.” Our collective, instinctive response to pray when confronting a crisis we cannot solve with human resources reveals something important about us.

Article Description:

Summary: I’ll admit, my initial reaction when I realized that I would need to write about the second anniversary of the Capitol riots was somewhere between “not this again” and “I just don’t care.” That’s not to say the event lacked significance, but while most Americans think what happened that day was wrong, far fewer think it’s worth continuing to dwell on two years after the fact. So why am I still writing about it? Because it provides a good opportunity to think about a larger cultural question, one that has a profound impact on the way we should see evangelism today.

Could WWIII happen if Russia, in order to avoid losing the war it started with Ukraine, is driven to use actual nuclear weapons? Or if Russia and China continue to solidify their political partnership? That should especially alarm all Americans for two less than obvious reasons.

The 2023 Consumer Electronics Show (CES), the world’s largest technology conference, begins tomorrow in Las Vegas. From new technology to the latest in a very old conflict: Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir visited the Temple Mount in Jerusalem on Tuesday, challenging the status quo by which Muslims are allowed to visit the site and pray with few restrictions while Jews can visit only during limited time slots and are not allowed to pray there. In the view of skeptics, we have another example of the danger posed to our advanced secular society by antiquated religion. But is the world really this simple?

Nine minutes into last night’s Monday Night Football game, Bills safety Damar Hamlin tackled a Bengals receiver who appeared to collide with him in the head and chest area. Hamlin quickly stood up, took two steps, collapsed backward, and his body went limp. Medical personnel administered CPR and cared for him for ten minutes while visibly upset players from both teams watched. Some shed tears while others circled together to pray. The reaction in prayer was immediate and profound.

Why do we drop a ball at Times Square in New York City to celebrate the new year? In other news, “permacrisis” was chosen by Collins Dictionary as its word of the year. And we’ve begun  the new year with news of the deaths of Barbara Walters and Pope Benedict XVI. From the horrors of war to massive storms and floods to holiday loneliness and financial struggles, we are reminded daily that we are broken people living in a broken world. However, your Creator has a paradoxically hopeful perspective for your life.
