“News of the World,” abortion, and the Biden administration: A fourfold biblical response

Last updated on: January 25, 2021 at 5:07 am By Jim Denison

Listen to The Daily Article Podcast, then subscribe. Over the weekend, Janet and I watched Tom Hanks’ new film, News of the World. It is a moving story of one man’s commitment to protect a girl no one wants. As viewers, we feel revulsion at those who would abuse or neglect her and celebrate the courage with which Hanks’ character cares for her. There is something in us that venerates life and its achievements. Like football fans in Tampa Bay and Kansas... Read more

Last updated on: January 22, 2021 at 5:02 am By Jim Denison

As a nonpartisan ministry, we do not endorse candidates or adopt partisan agendas. However, I need you to know that I did not support Joe Biden’s positions on abortion, religious liberty, and sexual morality in the 2020 presidential election. I plan to address these crucial subjects and offer biblical responses next week. Nonetheless, I need to say to you that, despite my biblical and personal objections, Joe Biden is my president. If you are an American citizen, he is your... Read more

Last updated on: January 19, 2021 at 5:12 am By Jim Denison

Last updated on: January 18, 2021 at 5:12 am By Jim Denison
