Apollo Quiboloy, leader of the cult Kingdom of Jesus Christ, was arrested on charges of rape, sex trafficking, fraud, and smuggling. What makes his arrest particularly troubling, however, is the legacy he leaves behind as the leader of a cult in which he claimed to be the “Appointed Son of God.” The common thread running through most cults is the idea that the best way to relate to God is to go through those who claim to be closer to him than we are. And that impulse is hardly limited to the Philippines.

Israel bombed Hezbollah targets and a weapons storage facility in southern Lebanon this morning. Yesterday, the terrorist group was hit by a second wave of exploding devices as walkie-talkies blew up in homes, cars, and operatives’ hands across Lebanon. The use of exploding personal devices is apparently intended to show Hezbollah leaders that they are personally vulnerable in a war with the Jewish nation. We engage with this news to the degree that it affects us personally. Today, we explore why communal rather than individual truth is vital to our flourishing as a society.

The Federal Reserve is expected to announce interest rate cuts today. Research shows that we react more strongly to negative than to positive information, which explains why there’s more bad news than good news in the news. Our “fight or flight” instincts may attune us to threats in the news, but new research shows that being “hopeful and forward-looking” is especially effective in combating stress and anxiety. How can we be people of hope in a hurting world?

During Sunday’s apparent assassination attempt against Donald Trump, the suspected gunman hid near Mr. Trump’s golf course for roughly twelve hours before a Secret Service agent spotted him and opened fire. Pope Francis recently stated that religions are “like different languages in order to arrive at God.” Today we discuss why faith in Jesus is essential for salvation and how to choose courage to share the gospel out of compassion for the lost.

In his debate with Kamala Harris last week, former President Donald Trump stated that Haitian immigrants in Springfield, Ohio, were abducting and eating pets. The comment provoked a furor that continues unabated this morning, but few reporters are focusing on the religious context of this issue. Our secularized culture, by ignoring the foundational significance of religious truth, imperils its future.

When pressed on how he would approach the war in Ukraine should he win in November, former President Donald Trump reiterated his belief that the war just needs to end. But what would that look like?

These stories remind us that life is fragile and unpredictable for us all. Royalty and celebrity are no guarantee that the hardest parts of our broken world will not find us. But in those hard places, God will.
