Last updated on: August 11, 2021 at 5:00 am By Jim Denison

NOTE: Today’s Daily Article is by Mark Turman, pastor of Crosspoint Church in McKinney, Texas. He is also the Denison Forum Senior Fellow for Church Leadership. “Talent” shows fill our screens. Daily Articles about Luke Combs’ rejection by The Voice and Nightbirde’s withdrawal from America’s Got Talent testify to their popularity. In fact, my favorite is America’s Got Talent. I like the variety of performers on AGT compared to the other offerings. I don’t have anything against music shows looking... Read more

Last updated on: August 6, 2021 at 2:00 pm By Jim Denison

Here’s a headline you don’t see every day: “Sumo scare? Riders say horses might be spooked by statue.” At the Tokyo Olympics equestrian jumping event, an unusual statue stands near obstacle No. 10—a life-size sumo wrestler. “There’s a lot to look at,” says one rider. Another echoes, “It is very realistic. It does look like a person, and that’s a little spooky. You know, horses don’t want to see a guy, like, looking intense next to a jump, looking like...
