When astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams arrived at the International Space Station (ISS) last June, they were supposed to return home in eight to ten days. However, the vessel that transported them developed so many problems that it returned to our planet unmanned, leaving them marooned. Now NASA is reporting that the capsule that will bring them home won’t launch until late March 2025 at the earliest. By contrast, Christ traveled from heaven to our fallen planet at Christmas. The way he chose to do so reveals the shocking good news of God’s contradictory love.

A church in Switzerland has created a computer-generated avatar of Jesus. St. Peter’s Chapel in Lucerne, ironically the nation’s oldest church, now has cutting-edge technology that enables people to talk with an AI version of God’s Son. However, visitors are warned against sharing personal details and informed that their interactions with the avatar are at their own risk. We need a God who will not only give us advice but actually act in our lives and our broken world on our behalf, as a blessing and not a risk to us all.

Canada recently released its updated statistics for how many people died last year from physician-assisted suicide, and the numbers continue an alarming trend. Canada is by no means the only country with legal euthanasia, but it is the country where the greatest number of people have chosen to end their lives through some form of physician-assisted suicide. Why do assisted suicide laws seem to be growing in popularity? And what steps, if any, are being taken to guard against abuses? A telling answer to both questions is found in the UK’s move to pass similar legislation, though with one key difference that speaks to a principle that applies to all of our sin natures.

The ongoing controversy over nighttime drones points to a crisis of confidence in our government, where less than one in four Americans trust the federal government and only 15 percent believe it to be transparent. As today’s Daily Article shows, such trust is vital to America’s collective future. How can leaders earn trust? By following the example set at Christmas.

Article Description

For weeks, objects that appear to be drones have been seen in the night skies, primarily in New Jersey but also in New York, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Connecticut, and Ohio. Mysterious drones are being reported over American air bases in the UK and Germany as well. Some are blaming Russia, China, Iran, hobbyists, and even aliens for the strange sightings. The continuing mystery over nighttime drones highlights the finitude and frailty of humans in our fallen world. In the past, crises and chaos sparked spiritual awakenings. For the same to happen today, we need to change how we see the One we need so desperately.

Donald Trump is Time’s Person of the Year. Of course, you didn’t get a vote. In nearly every dimension of your life, you are living with the consequences of decisions you didn’t make. But God is different, in ways that can change our lives and our world. Living biblically and acting redemptively may not earn you recognition by Time magazine or the secular authorities of our culture. However, living for God in this world will lead to his declaration in the next: “Well done, good and faithful servant” (Matthew 25:21).

The Dallas Cowboys are having a terrible year. One play from last Monday night’s loss to the Cincinnati Bengals seemed to sum up their season: A Cowboys player deflected a Bengals punt late in the game. So, of course, one of their players touched and fumbled the ball. The Bengals recovered it, then scored a touchdown to win the game. The Dallas media and football social media have been scathing and unrelenting. Today we discuss what we can learn from situations with “unknown unknowns” and how the Baconian fallacy applies to our relationship with Christ.

Archaeologists may have found the original sarcophagus of Nicholas of Myra, the historic gift-giving figure on whom the Santa Claus tradition is based. St. Nicholas could not have imagined that he would become the roly-poly figure we call Santa Claus today, but he is part of one of many previously holy celebrations that have since fallen to secular holidays. Unlike the 4th-century saint, the Christ of Christmas is today all he has ever been and does all he has ever done.

Twenty-six-year-old Luigi Mangione was charged last night with murder for last week’s deadly shooting of an insurance executive in Midtown Manhattan. One reason it took so long to find the UnitedHealthcare CEO assassin is that people celebrated the shooter as a quasi-folk hero. By contrast, as Jordan Peterson notes in his new book, the idea that we are made in God’s image is foundational to our society. If our value isn’t intrinsic, how then does society determine the individual value of a person? And what does God’s word say about it?
