Buccaneers win Super Bowl LV: How the temporal can change the eternal

Last updated on: February 8, 2021 at 5:13 am By Jim Denison

Even before the Tampa Bay Buccaneers defeated the Kansas City Chiefs yesterday in Super Bowl LV, the game had made history in a variety of ways: The game was the first time a team (in this case, Tampa Bay) played at their home stadium. The two quarterbacks featured the largest age gap ever in the big game—eighteen years and forty-five days. The Chiefs’ Patrick Mahomes is twenty-five years old, while the Buccaneers’ Tom Brady is forty-three years old. Brady has... Read more

Super Bowl conspiracy theories and COVID-19 vaccines: The urgency of reason for our culture and our faith

Last updated on: February 5, 2021 at 5:03 am By Jim Denison

Did the NFL arrange for Tom Brady to play for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and for his team to play in their home stadium in Sunday’s Super Bowl to hike ratings? Did the league arrange for the Kansas City Chiefs to play in the game for the same reason? Has Tom Brady been colluding with NFL referees for years? Do some teams lose on purpose to improve their draft position? If you believe any of these conspiracy theories, what evidence... Read more

Chick-fil-A manager intervenes in vaccination snafu: The power of courage and the liberation of limitations

Last updated on: February 4, 2021 at 5:05 am By Jim Denison

This headline caught my eye recently: “A Chick-fil-A manager saved a drive-thru Covid-19 vaccination clinic after traffic backed up.” When the computer system handling vaccine registrations went down in Mount Pleasant, South Carolina, hundreds of people were left waiting for hours. The mayor told reporters that he called the local Chick-fil-A manager, who “showed us how to do it right.” His intervention reduced the hours-long wait to just fifteen minutes. In another story of altruism, firefighters in Connecticut executed a... Read more

Is censorship escalating against evangelicals? Three biblical responses

Last updated on: February 3, 2021 at 4:57 am By Jim Denison

The Daily Citizen is a publication of Focus on the Family. On January 19, it tweeted that President Biden’s nominee for assistant secretary of health, Rachel Levine, is “a transgender woman, that is, a man who believes he is a woman.” The story included a link to an article about the nomination. As a result, Twitter locked the magazine out of its account, informing the publication that its tweet violated Twitter’s user rules forbidding “hateful conduct” and violence. The magazine...

Groundhog Day and an article every evangelical should read: An empowering and urgent prayer for our nation

Last updated on: February 2, 2021 at 5:08 am By Jim Denison

Punxsutawney Phil will let us know this morning whether we will have an early spring or six more weeks of winter. Phil or his antecedents have been doing this since 1887. Numerous other states have their own groundhog to use for such predictions. Hopefully theirs are a bit more accurate than Phil: he has been correct in his forecasts about 50 percent of the time in the last ten years. I am grateful to live in a country with such... Read more

GameStop and transgender rights: The privilege and cost of courageous compassion

Last updated on: February 1, 2021 at 5:01 am By Jim Denison

Occasionally in The Daily Article I address an issue only because everyone else is. The GameStop furor is an example. Without getting into financial explanations about “shorting stocks” that I barely understand, I’ll point to the part of the controversy that is especially captivating interest: “little guy” investors are making huge sums of money while large hedge funds are losing huge sums of money. You may not have a personal interest in the GameStop story, but this probably feels more... Read more

The death of my spiritual father: Is this “the greatest evangelistic hour” in history?

Last updated on: January 29, 2021 at 5:05 am By Jim Denison

I will be in heaven because of the ministry of a man who went to heaven Wednesday night. In 1973, Dr. Cecil Sewell, Jr. left his church in Alabama to become the pastor of a small congregation in Houston, Texas. One of his first acts was to begin a bus ministry, something few churches across the country were doing. The church purchased an old school bus and enlisted volunteers to knock on doors in the community looking for people to... Read more

The Challenger anniversary and the Equality Act: Three responses to a perilous threat to religious freedom

Last updated on: January 28, 2021 at 5:04 am By Jim Denison

Three men are paying $55 million each to fly on a SpaceX rocket to the International Space Station. They constitute the first private space station crew in history. However, they will not be the first private citizens to serve as astronauts. That honor will forever belong to Christa McAuliffe, a New Hampshire high school teacher who was chosen in 1985 to fly aboard the space shuttle Challenger. On this day in 1986, she and six NASA astronauts lifted off from... Read more

The greatness of Hank Aaron and the sanctity of life: A way through the conflicts of our culture

Last updated on: January 27, 2021 at 5:05 am By Jim Denison

Hank Aaron died last Friday at the age of eighty-six. He was the greatest baseball player I ever saw and one of the greatest men the sport has ever produced. Aaron told reporters in 1994 that when he neared Babe Ruth’s all-time home run record twenty years earlier, “My kids had to live like they were in prison because of kidnap threats, and I had to live like a pig in a slaughter camp. I had to duck. I had... Read more
