The Daily Article

From leadership changes to economic shifts, we’ve seen versions of today’s headlines before. But why do they resonate so deeply? Humans all have an innate desire for meaning and spend their lives searching for significance. True purpose isn’t just about what we know, but who we know. In today’s article, Dr. Jim Denison challenges us to move beyond knowledge about God to a transformative relationship with Him—one that changes how we live, love, and engage with the world.

Kfir Bibas was ten months old and his brother Ariel was four when Hamas kidnapped them along with their parents on October 7. Their tiny bodies were returned in black boxes last Thursday during Hamas and Israel’s hostage exchange. Helen Keller observed, “Tyranny cannot defeat the power of ideas.” However, ideas can empower tyranny. When we proclaim God’s kingdom in words and bring it into being through actions, Jesus changes the hearts and lives of all who respond to him by faith.

The peace talks between America and Russia continue to dominate headlines, with leaders in Europe and Ukraine increasingly wary of how they’ve been excluded from those discussions. While President Trump, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, and even Russian President Vladimir Putin have all acknowledged that Ukraine will be part of the negotiations when they begin in earnest, that is not how much of the Western world has seen this week’s events.

Wicked star Cynthia Erivo will play Jesus in Jesus Christ Superstar at the Hollywood Bowl this summer. The United Church of Christ Cathedral of Hope in Dallas hosted a service last Sunday dedicated to celebrating drag performers and transgender individuals. One reason such stories are discouraging is that we’re not sure what, if anything, we can do in response. And we instinctually want answers to our questions and solutions for our problems. Our hope rests, of course, in Jesus.

A Delta flight made a hard landing Monday afternoon in Toronto, lost a wing, burst into flames, and flipped onto its roof. Delta said twenty-one injured people were taken to local hospitals; nineteen were released by the next morning. Three had critical but non-life-threatening injuries, one of whom was a child. However, there were no fatalities. We live in a world filled with alarming headlines and endless updates, often leaving us overwhelmed and powerless. But what if the key to real change lies not in fixing everything—but in focusing on the work uniquely meant for you?

High-level delegations from the US and Russia have begun meeting in what the Wall Street Journal calls the “highest-profile Russia talks since [the] Ukraine invasion.” Today’s discussions in Saudi Arabia could lead to an eventual summit between President Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin. Israel eliminated Muhammad Shaheen yesterday, the head of Hamas’s Operations Department in Lebanon. According to Israeli security forces, Shaheen was planning attacks not only against Israeli citizens but also against Jewish targets outside of Israel. As with Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, once again we see the power of a worldview to shape the world.

Article Description

Singer and songwriter Sheryl Crow made headlines over the weekend by posting an Instagram video in which she waves goodbye to her Tesla as it is driven away. She explained: “There comes a time when you have to decide who you are willing to align with. So long Tesla.” The preponderance of celebrities seeking political influence across the partisan spectrum stands in sharp contrast with the hero our nation celebrates today for Presidents Day. In a secularized culture that rejects biblical authority, we must be the change we wish to see.

San Francisco’s tech world has long resisted faith, but a shift is underway. Trae and Michelle Stephens launched the ACTS 17 Collective to engage the industry’s elite, believing the powerful need Jesus too. Through networking events featuring Christian speakers, they offer value to those shaping culture while planting seeds of the gospel. The group’s success across Silicon Valley and beyond raises a question for all believers: When you think about Christ’s call for your life, is knowing him as your savior and Lord at the top of your list?

Article Description

Trump spoke with Putin about ending the war in Ukraine. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky later said he had also spoken with Mr. Trump about a “lasting, reliable peace.” Meanwhile, NASA warned an asteroid could hit Earth in 2032—though the risk is just 2.1 percent. These threats remind us of life’s fragility and reveal our deeper fear surrounding death—not the pain of dying, but the prospect of annihilation. But Christians believe eternal life begins the moment we trust Jesus, offering peace even in life’s storms. What if that hope could calm your fears today?

Hamas stated Monday that it would postpone the release of three hostages scheduled to be freed this weekend to protest delays in deliveries of humanitarian goods. Yesterday, I was privileged to meet one of my longtime Israeli friends for lunch. I asked him for his thoughts on the hostage crisis and, as usual, his perspective was both brilliant and enlightening. What’s more, I found his thoughts relevant to an even larger context that touches us all. To make this point, let’s put my friend’s response into a larger cultural context.
