A federal disaster relief official reportedly ordered workers to bypass the homes of Donald Trump’s supporters as they surveyed damage from Hurricane Milton in Florida. As a result, at least twenty homes with Trump yard signs or flags were not given the opportunity to qualify for assistance. If our political divisiveness continues, our consensual democracy will be imperiled. Our one hope is the unifying and transforming power of the gospel.

Dr. Jim Denison discusses discrimination at some depth in his latest Denison Forum website article, “A visit that marked me for the rest of my life: Four roots of antisemitism and three urgent calls to action.”

Here’s one post-election example) of the increasing attempts to restrict the freedom of speech of those persons we consider dangerous.

Calls for a “Jew hunt” preceded attacks on Israelis in Amsterdam last week during a soccer match between Tel Aviv and a Dutch club. The violence is part of an escalating plague of antisemitism in Europe and the US. In today’s Daily Article, we explain why racism is provoked by Satan and leads to the judgment of God.

You will find the conversation sobering, challenging, and inspiring.

More than 90 percent of counties shifted in favor of Donald Trump during last week’s election. For those whose values could be considered more conservative than progressive or liberal, this news perhaps indicates that our nation has not devolved from our Judeo-Christian moral foundations as far as many feared. But there is a cloud in this silver lining, one that requires action from each of us today.

In the wake of Tuesday’s election, members of the Democratic Party have spent a great deal of energy trying to explain why Kamala Harris lost and Donald Trump won. As the nation works to analyze the political divide, we’re facing what David Brooks calls “a crisis of respect.” Fortunately, we’re not the first group to struggle with that problem. Today we look at the early church and three practical ways we can be welcoming to others just as Christ welcomed us.

Former White House Deputy Chief of Staff Karl Rove called the 2024 presidential election “the most astonishing campaign in modern history.” After reading scores of reports on the results, I cannot find anyone who disagrees. But Daniel McCarthy’s explanation in the New York Times titled “This Is Why Trump Won” is by far the best explanation of the Republican victory I have seen. It also highlights a vital, even crucial insight for Christians seeking to serve Jesus in our post-Christian culture.

Donald Trump has been elected the forty-seventh president of the United States. As more is known, we will have ample opportunity to analyze this historic outcome. For today, let’s step back for some larger perspective, seeking to view our nation and this moment through the lenses of history, culture, and Scripture.

On Election Day, “negative partisanship,” whereby we vote against the candidates we oppose more than for those we support, is on the rise. As a result, even if our candidates win, we will be less excited than relieved that at least the “worse” candidates lost. And if our candidates lose, our discouragement will only deepen. Never in my lifetime has America needed hopeful, positive, gracious Christians more than she does today.

Politicians and pundits on both sides of our deep partisan divide are warning us that if their party does not win tomorrow’s election, our democracy will be imperiled. Others are confident that this is not true.

The Synod on Synodality sounds more like something from Monty Python or The Babylon Bee than a real gathering of church leaders. Yet, as Father Robert Sirico describes, some considered it to be “the most significant global event in the Catholic Church since the Second Vatican Council in the 1960s [and] will likely be the defining moment of Pope Francis’ pontificate.” So what did they decide, and why should Christians from every denomination take note of what occurred?
