Cease-fire declared in Israel: The consequences of ideas and a pathway to our best lives

Last updated on: May 21, 2021 at 5:41 am By Jim Denison

A cease-fire between Israel and Hamas began today after the worst violence in many years. The Israeli security cabinet voted late yesterday to end airstrikes on Gaza. According to the Prime Minister’s Office, the cabinet unanimously agreed to a “mutual and unconditional” cessation of hostilities. A Hamas official confirmed that the cease-fire would be “mutual and simultaneous.” This is obviously good news. However, this cease-fire is not peace. In fact, we should have no expectation that the end to this... Read more

The Supreme Court and Roe v. Wade: How abortion poisons our politics and threatens our witness

Last updated on: May 20, 2021 at 5:30 am By Jim Denison

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott signed into law yesterday a measure prohibiting abortions in Texas as early as six weeks. The governor stated that the bill “ensures that the life of every unborn child who has a heartbeat will be saved from the ravages of abortion.” The ban includes cases where the woman was impregnated as a result of rape or incest, but it allows an exception for medical emergencies. It takes effect in September, though pro-abortion activists have promised to... Read more

Why do so many Americans condemn Israel? God’s conduit through whom “all the families of the earth shall be blessed”

Last updated on: May 19, 2021 at 5:17 am By Jim Denison

The conflict between Israel and Hamas intensified yesterday. An airstrike launched from within the Gaza Strip killed two workers in southern Israel, while protests in the West Bank turned deadly. The fighting is being described as the worst since 2014. In response, a group of twenty Republican senators is pushing for a vote this week on a resolution that expresses support for Israel. On the other side, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez claimed that “the expulsions of Palestinians and attacks on al-Aqsa”... Read more

Supreme Court to consider case that could undermine Roe v. Wade: The power of ideas and steps to biblical thinking

Last updated on: May 18, 2021 at 5:10 am By Jim Denison

The Supreme Court has agreed to hear a case that could undermine Roe v. Wade, the landmark 1973 decision that legalized abortion across America. The Wall Street Journal explains that the case in question is “a Mississippi abortion law that seeks to ban the procedure after fifteen weeks of pregnancy, a case that gives the justices an opportunity to revisit the court’s precedents protecting abortion rights.” According to the New York Times, pro-life supporters are “expressing excitement at the court’s...

Pet tiger recaptured in Houston: Trusting God’s word when we do not understand his ways

Last updated on: May 17, 2021 at 5:23 am By Jim Denison

A pet tiger that had been wandering around a Houston neighborhood for several days has been found safe. It was taken to an animal sanctuary yesterday morning, and for good reason: there really is no such thing as a “pet” tiger. As the Humane Society notes, attacks by captive tigers have killed children and adults. What is true physically is even more true spiritually: “Be sober-minded; be watchful. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, looking for... Read more

What sparked the violence?

Most of its components were destroyed upon entering the atmosphere. Parts that survived reentry crashed into the ocean west of the Maldives, a small island chain south of India.
