Churches respond to the weather crisis in Texas: How I learned a transforming lesson about gratitude this week

Last updated on: February 19, 2021 at 5:13 am By Jim Denison

In each of my radio interviews this week, I have been asked about our weather crisis in Texas. People from California to Minnesota to Florida and points in between are following this story. Our winter weather even made the New York Times, and for good reason. A family in Killeen has been forced to ration oxygen for their premature baby. They had to burn their three-year-old daughter’s wooden blocks in their fireplace for warmth. Most of us have now seen... Read more

Rush Limbaugh and writing in a winter storm: How perspective can strengthen our faith and embolden our witness

Last updated on: February 18, 2021 at 5:00 am By Jim Denison

Rush Limbaugh died yesterday at the age of seventy. He is being remembered today in ways that align fully with his political and cultural influence. Whether you considered him a vital voice for freedom or a danger to our liberties depended entirely on your perspective. To some he was a hero; to others, a threat. What no one can question is that he used his influence to advance his vision for our country. I saw the news of his passing... Read more

Miracles in Nepal and ice in Dallas: Trusting our challenges to the sovereignty of God

Last updated on: February 17, 2021 at 5:10 am By Jim Denison

A Nepali Christian named Suroj Shakya faced a life-threatening decision. His mother, Gita, had been diagnosed with a painful, paralyzing spinal growth. Doctors advised a risky, potentially lethal surgery. Her husband, a Buddhist priest, refused to pay his Christian wife’s expenses. Doctors gave Suroj two days to decide whether to let his mother live in terrible pain or risk her death. The nineteen-year-old was alone in Singapore and did not know what to do, so he called out to the... Read more

Tim Keller’s cancer update: Hopeful lessons in hard places

Last updated on: February 16, 2021 at 5:10 am By Jim Denison

Bestselling author and pastor Tim Keller recently shared an update on his battle with pancreatic cancer. As a result of the prayers of many and his chemotherapy treatments, he has seen a “significant decrease in [the] size and number of tumors.” He stated, “I still have cancer, but this is excellent news,” and added, “What the future holds I do not know, but we will continue to trust his plan and allow him to shepherd us along his chosen path.”...

Responding to the Ravi Zacharias scandal: Three biblical steps every Christian must take now

Last updated on: February 15, 2021 at 5:00 am By Jim Denison

Note: The impeachment and acquittal of former President Trump by the Senate raise vital questions for our culture and our future. However, given the urgency of today’s topic, I will postpone my response to the impeachment proceedings until tomorrow’s Daily Article. Witnessing the fall of someone we greatly admire elicits deep, painful emotions. We feel betrayed by them and embarrassed that we trusted them. The more public our faith in them, the more public our shame and the deeper our... Read more

What happened this week at Denison Forum?

Last updated on: February 13, 2021 at 5:00 am By Jim Denison

This Week in The Daily Article The underlying question of this week’s reported news at Denison Forum is one I want you to ask yourself right now: Where are you truly placing your hope? We awoke Monday morning to Tom Brady having won yet another Super Bowl, only to see Tuesday bring yet another impeachment trial for former president Donald Trump. On Wednesday, we learned that a divided Senate had voted fifty-six to forty-four, ruling that the trial is constitutional.... Read more

Washington National Cathedral denounced for hosting Max Lucado: Why we must never concede the high ground of truth

Last updated on: February 12, 2021 at 5:05 am By Jim Denison

The Washington National Cathedral recently came under fire for inviting evangelical pastor and author Max Lucado to speak. The reason: his biblical views on marriage. A petition that amassed more than sixteen hundred signatures claimed, “Lucado’s teachings and preaching inflicts active harm on LGBTQ people.” While the cathedral’s dean allowed Lucado to speak, he assured critics that the church’s commitment to the LGBTQ community is “unshakable and unchanged.” Yesterday I noted that one evangelical response to cultural opposition is to...

The rebranding of Aunt Jemima and the future of evangelicals in American culture

Last updated on: February 11, 2021 at 4:59 am By Jim Denison

I grew up with Aunt Jemima pancake mix and syrup. The depiction of an African American woman was a part of the logo I never noticed. Here’s what I was missing: according to Cornell University professor Riché Richardson, the logo was inspired by a minstrel song, “Old Aunt Jemima.” This song perpetuated the “mammy,” which Richardson describes as “a devoted and submissive servant who eagerly nurtured the children of her white master and mistress while neglecting her own.” The logo...

Donald Trump’s impeachment trial continues: The history-changing power of convictional courage

Last updated on: February 10, 2021 at 5:09 am By Jim Denison

Donald Trump’s second impeachment trial began yesterday as prosecutors showed video of Trump supporters attacking the Capitol on January 6. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer has called the accusation against Trump “the gravest charges ever brought against a president of the United States in American history.” Republicans countered with the claim that only a sitting president can face an impeachment trial. A divided Senate voted fifty-six to forty-four against their position, ruling that the trial is constitutional. Today, the prosecution... Read more

Donald Trump’s second impeachment trial begins today: Three biblical principles offer hope in divisive days

Last updated on: February 9, 2021 at 4:57 am By Jim Denison

The second impeachment trial of Donald Trump begins today in the US Senate. One of the major questions is whether a former president like Mr. Trump can be impeached and convicted after leaving office. One might think that this is a clear-cut constitutional question. However, such is not the case. Arguments for and against impeachment Article II, Section 4 of the US Constitution states, “The President, Vice President and all civil Officers of the United States, shall be removed from...
