Americans are more optimistic than we have been in fifteen years: The danger of “untethered sympathy” and the power of God’s love

Last updated on: May 5, 2021 at 5:09 am By Jim Denison

According to a poll taken last weekend, Americans are more optimistic about the nation’s direction than we have been since December 2006. However, our partisan divide remains: 78 percent of Republicans think keeping taxes the same is more important, while 80 percent of Democrats say it’s important that the government spend money to help the economy. The next generation of COVID-19 vaccines could come as a pill or a nasal spray and be easier to store and transport. They have... Read more

Last updated on: April 30, 2021 at 5:12 am By Jim Denison

President Biden delivers first joint address to Congress: Two lessons on God’s calling to serve others

Last updated on: April 29, 2021 at 5:38 am By Jim Denison

The Constitution requires the president to “from time to time give to the Congress Information on the State of the Union.” Though technically not a State of the Union address, President Biden fulfilled this obligation last night in front of a joint session of Congress. While most recent presidents have delivered such an address earlier in the year, the Coronavirus and other factors combined to delay last night’s report. Biden began his speech with an update on where the country... Read more

Last updated on: April 28, 2021 at 5:11 am By Jim Denison

Thirty-three-year-old Jesse Larios from California has been in the news recently after deciding “on a whim” to don a bear suit and walk four hundred miles from downtown Los Angeles to the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco.

Biden first US President to acknowledge deaths of Armenian Christians as genocide: Why the Armenian Genocide matters today

Last updated on: April 27, 2021 at 5:15 am By Jim Denison

President Joe Biden made history this past weekend when he became the first sitting US president to recognize the massacre of as many as 1.5 million Armenian Christians by the Ottoman Empire—present-day Turkey—in the early twentieth century as a genocide. It’s taken this long for the United States to officially describe horrific slaughter with accurate terminology because Turkey has long been seen as an important ally in the Middle East, and they are predictably hesitant to accept that classification. That... Read more
