Summary:

During a Holocaust memorial ceremony at the US Capitol yesterday, President Biden condemned a “ferocious surge of antisemitism in America and around the world” and pointed to “vicious propaganda on social media.” The good news is that no matter how hopeless we may feel in these chaotic days, we can embrace and share a hope the world can neither recreate nor destroy.

Today is the National Day of Prayer. In our changing culture, our nation is becoming increasingly divided and antagonistic toward one another. To heal our democracy, we look to the source of all true life transformation. The more we pray for our nation, the more our connection with God through prayer will empower and encourage us to pray for our nation and to become the vehicles of change we wish to see.

Columbia University became the epicenter of the movement, making news when it banned a student protest leader who declared that “Zionists don’t deserve to live.” In these truly perilous days for our nation, let us focus on becoming more like Christ, the light of the world, to combat the darkness around us.
