Israel targets Hamas leaders in military strikes on Qatar: The corruption of Hamas and Amy Coney Barrett on the power of the law Sep 10, 2025

Article Description

An Israeli air strike on Doha killed five members of Hamas and a Qatari security officer, striking leaders who lived in “five-star luxury” while most Gazans remain impoverished. Hamas has ruled without elections since 2007, staging terror attacks with no accountability to its people and profiting while hiding behind civilian shields. By contrast, America’s founders sought a “government of laws, not of men,” a principle Justice Amy Coney Barrett echoes in her new book on the Supreme Court. Yet human laws remain flawed—only God’s Spirit can empower us to live by a higher standard, the true hallmark of holiness.

“Brutally savage” Russian airstrike kills more than 20 in Ukraine Sep 09, 2025

Show notes

A Russian airstrike on a village in eastern Ukraine killed more than twenty civilians this morning, another brutal reminder of a war that has dragged on for more than three years. At the same time, antisemitic violence and political moves emboldening Hamas show how distorted narratives are reshaping global opinion against Israel. Georgetown professor Paul Miller calls this the “Marvelization of reality,” where complex conflicts are reduced to simple scripts of villains and heroes. In such a world of bias and confusion, Jesus promised his Spirit would “guide you into all the truth”—but only if we are willing to follow.

At least six killed by terrorists at bus stop in Jerusalem Sep 08, 2025

Article Description

At least six people were murdered and dozens were wounded when terrorists opened fire on civilians at a bus stop in Jerusalem this morning. The two attackers were killed at the scene; Hamas praised the shooting by “two Palestinian resistance fighters.” In other news, Russia launched its largest attack on Ukraine over the weekend since the war began. When we fear death, we make this world our home and fight tooth and nail to stay here as long as we can. We measure success by temporal standards and drive ourselves to achieve it. Therein lies the issue I want to address today.

Truth Rising: stories of hope for the future of our faith Sep 05, 2025

Article Description

Truth Rising, a documentary developed through a partnership between Focus on the Family and the Colson Center, premieres today at noon EST, and I highly recommend making time to watch it. It’s free to stream and, as its creators describe, the film is “a call to action at a critical time in our culture.” The film is both a realistic assessment of the state of Western civilization as well as a ready source of inspiring reasons for optimism, grounded in the fact that God is still at work using his people to offer redemption and hope to a world in desperate need of both.

President Trump is alive, despite internet doubts Sep 04, 2025

Show notes

Please give today to help more people hear biblical insight through this Daily Article podcast.

Article Description:

“How did you find out over the weekend that you were dead?” This is how Fox News reporter Peter Doocy asked President Trump his opinion on the online controversy alleging that the president was either dead or about to be. The root cause was that Mr. Trump had nothing on his public schedule for three days last week. For a person who is so often in the public eye, his lack of visibility was visible evidence for some that something was happening behind the scenes. We are all prone to beliefs we want to believe and susceptible to believing only what endorses these beliefs while rejecting what does not. But when it comes to God, believing our doubts can cause us to doubt our beliefs—to the detriment of our souls.

President Trump announces intervention in Chicago and Baltimore Sep 03, 2025

Show notes

President Donald Trump told reporters yesterday that he is ready to order federal law enforcement intervention to combat crime in Chicago and Baltimore. The president’s announcement followed police reports that at least fifty-eight people were shot in Chicago over the Labor Day weekend, eight fatally. According to research, participation in a religious community correlates with better health outcomes and longer life, higher financial generosity, and more stable families. The more we participate, the greater the positive effects. But the church of Jesus Christ has often failed to be the body of Jesus Christ. How do we trust the church when the church hurts us?

Christian author Jen Hatmaker: “I’m out of the church right now” Sep 02, 2025

Show notes

The bestselling Christian author and speaker Jen Hatmaker has recently told Time magazine, “I’m out of the church right now. … I don’t even know what church could or would be for me just as a person.” Even if the church does not disappoint us, God often does. Choosing to trust him when we don’t understand him shows that our trust is not based on our circumstances. This positions us to experience him on a level that changes our lives. Today, we discuss three ways this has been true for Jim personally and encourage you to believe that there is more to your story with God than you can know today.

Quebec plans to outlaw public prayer to “strengthen secularism” Sep 01, 2025

Show notes

According to the Canadian news outlet The Globe and Mail, the government of Quebec is planning to ban prayer in public places “as part of a move to strengthen secularism in the province.” It is not so dissimilar in the United States. After the Minneapolis church shooting, leaders like MSNBC host Jen Psaki and Minneapolis mayor Jacob Frey rejected “thoughts and prayers” as hollow and pressed for decisive gun reform. As Western culture becomes increasingly secularized, such sentiments are unsurprising. It is one thing to trust God because of our circumstances, those times when he has blessed us and all is well. It is another to trust him despite our circumstances.

Trump administration to take control of Union Station: Why legislating morality doesn’t work Aug 29, 2025

Show notes

Earlier this week, U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy announced that the Department of Transportation would reclaim management of Union Station in Washington, DC. Normally, this news would likely fade from the headlines without much ado outside of Washington. However, the Trump administration’s decision to invoke the Home Rule Act in order to federalize local law enforcement and essentially take jurisdiction over the nation’s capital has left many on heightened alert. As such, the decision regarding Union Station is seen through a much different lens than it would have been a few months ago. That said, there is also reason for hope in the DOT’s stated goals for taking back control of Union Station.

Article Description

A gunman opened fire with a rifle through the windows of a Catholic school in Minneapolis yesterday, striking a group of children celebrating Mass during the first week of school. Two children, ages eight and ten, were killed. When such atrocities involve children, my first thought is of our four school-age grandchildren. My second thought is to ask, What can I say in response to this tragedy that I have not said in response to similar tragedies that have plagued our nation in recent years? As I prayed about the answer, I was led to an insight I had not considered before, one that I hope will be as helpful to you as it was to me.
