David Jones walked through Hurricane Helene’s devastation to get to his daughter’s wedding in Johnson City, Tennessee, last Saturday. A two-hour drive from South Carolina turned into a seven-hour drive and almost six more hours on foot through mud and flood. David carried a reflective stake to avoid being hit and he made it just in time. At the reception he presented the reflector to the couple as...

The debate was widely watched because one in five Americans said they did not know the candidates before the debate, viewers desired to learn more about the two parties and their visions for the future, and when the presidential inauguration takes place, one of these two men will be a heartbeat away from the Oval Office. How can Christians use this information to beware the illusion of immortality...

Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Cor...

Israel’s war aim is to enable Lebanon to seize a post-Hezbollah future for its people while restoring stability to the region, repeatedly warning civilians of their strikes to prevent casualties where possible. In the face of Hezbollah’s genocidal goals, however, Israel is united in its resolve to defeat the terrorists who threaten their lives and their future. In today’s Daily Article , we discus...

Israel killed Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah in an airstrike on the group’s central command headquarters Friday. Israel’s military says it has now eliminated eight of Hezbollah’s nine most senior military commanders. The news is reverberating across the Middle East today. How should we view this historic event in biblical context? The biblical admonition comes to mind: “Be sure your sin will fi...

Hurricane Helene crossed into Florida as the strongest storm on record to hit the Big Bend area, and it’s maintained much of its destructive force on its path through Georgia and beyond. In the face of such devastation, it is essential that we not lose the hope that Christ calls us to find in him. Today we cover three steps for Christians to take in response to devastation that will encourage us t...

After Israel’s exploding pager attack, the TSA has announced that they have no plans on banning devices on flights, claiming their screening technology would detect explosives.

Israel struck Hezbollah targets in southern Lebanon today as the Iran-backed group attacked military facilities in northern Israel. The day before, Israeli strikes killed more than 490 people in the deadliest barrage since the 2006 Israel–Hezbollah war. If Lebanon is not part of the Promised Land intended by God for Abraham’s descendants in Genesis, how then does God view the war? Today we discuss...

Israeli warplanes carried out dozens of strikes on southern Lebanon after warning people living in or near buildings used by Hezbollah to evacuate. This after a Friday airstrike on a Beirut suburb took out “an entire class of senior leaders of the militant group’s most elite fighting force.” Israel has never owned land claimed by Hezbollah in Lebanon, so why is the terrorist group in conflict with...

Apollo Quiboloy, leader of the cult Kingdom of Jesus Christ, was arrested on charges of rape, sex trafficking, fraud, and smuggling. What makes his arrest particularly troubling, however, is the legacy he leaves behind as the leader of a cult in which he claimed to be the “Appointed Son of God.” The common thread running through most cults is the idea that the best way to relate to God is to go th...

Israel bombed Hezbollah targets and a weapons storage facility in southern Lebanon this morning. Yesterday, the terrorist group was hit by a second wave of exploding devices as walkie-talkies blew up in homes, cars, and operatives’ hands across Lebanon. The use of exploding personal devices is apparently intended to show Hezbollah leaders that they are personally vulnerable in a war with the Jewis...

The Federal Reserve is expected to announce interest rate cuts today. Research shows that we react more strongly to negative than to positive information, which explains why there’s more bad news than good news in the news. Our “fight or flight” instincts may attune us to threats in the news, but new research shows that being “hopeful and forward-looking” is especially effective in combating stres...

In his debate with Kamala Harris last week, former President Donald Trump stated that Haitian immigrants in Springfield, Ohio, were abducting and eating pets.

Two students and two teachers were killed in a shooting yesterday morning at Apalachee High School in rural Winder, Georgia, an hour’s drive from Atlanta. Nine others were hospitalized. At a time like this, it’s only human to ask an all-knowing, all-loving, all-powerful God why he allows such senseless suffering. However, tragedy like this is actually a reason to trust God more, not less. It is a...
