“This Evangelical Billionaire Family Wants to Convert You on Super Bowl Sunday.” That’s the title of a recent Rolling Stone feature, a magazine most wouldn’t expect to discuss God’s love. But the article profiles the Green family, founders of Hobby Lobby, and their work with the “He Gets Us” campaign that will share the story of God’s love with millions on this coming Super Bowl Sunday. How will y...

“Iran closer than ever to weaponizing uranium, building nuclear bomb.” That’s a headline from the Jerusalem Post. The Institute for Science and International Security warns that Iran could make enough highly enriched uranium to fashion a nuclear explosive in a week and could build and deliver a weapon in “about six months.” Why would Iran choose to do so? And why is this such an “extreme danger” t...

King Charles III has cancer. Buckingham Palace announced today that doctors found an unspecified malignancy. In response, “His Majesty has today commenced a schedule of regular treatments” and will “postpone public-facing duties.” My first thought upon seeing today’s announcement was one of shock. But my fifth thought should have been my first. About Denison Forum and The Daily Article Today's...

Elmo, the well-known Sesame Street character, recently asked his followers on X/Twitter, “How is everybody doing?” In response, “he got an earful,” as CNN reported, with many complaining about the hardship of their lives.

FBI director Christopher Wray told members of Congress this week that China is already taking steps that would “wreak havoc” on the United States through cyber attacks. However, they seem just as intent on meddling with their own people as they are with us. Unfortunately for them, it doesn’t seem to be working. Let’s take a look at why that’s the case and what it can teach us about our own lives a...

Elon Musk announced that his brain chip start-up Neuralink has implanted a device in its first live human subject. The quarter-sized chip is designed to interpret a person’s neural activity so they can control external devices with their thoughts. Is this a good thing?

And in assessing other concerns that those countries are facing, such as economic downturns, British journalist...

How will history view the killing of three Americans in a drone attack on a US outpost in Jordan last Sunday? The tragedy marks the first time American troops have been killed by enemy fire in the Middle East since the Gaza war began.

Taylor Swift was in the news yesterday as she watched her boyfriend, Travis Kelce, play tight end for the Kansas City Chiefs, who won the AFC Championship game.

The Doomsday Clock was set at 90 seconds to midnight this week, matching the closest it’s ever come to marking humanity’s end. But what is the Doomsday Clock? And should we care what those behind it think? Turns out, God has a better way for us to respond to its dire warnings than with the fear and angst it’s intended to create.  Author: Ryan Denison, PhD Narrator: Chris Elkins Subscribe: http://w...

Former president Trump and current president Biden won their respective party’s nominations in New Hampshire last night. But neither candidate’s path to the national nomination is secure.

Today marks the 51st annual March for Life in Washington D.C. It’ll be followed later this weekend by the 40th annual National Sanctity of Human Life Sunday. These events offer us the chance to remember that, while abortion is a political issue in many ways, nothing is going to change until it becomes a personal one as well. So how can we help that shift happen today?  Author: Ryan Denison, PhD Na...

While Iowans braved the cold and voted for Donald Trump at the Iowa caucuses last night, the 75th annual Emmy Awards also aired. Succession and The Bear each took home six awards—at least, we think they did. Since we now know that ESPN employed a fraudulent scheme in recent years to acquire more than thirty Emmys for sportscasters who were ineligible to receive them, we’re left to wonder. How full...

At the Iowa Republican Caucus tonight, thousands of Republicans will brave wind chills forecasted at -35 ° to participate in the first contest of the 2024 presidential election. How will their choices dictate our future? More broadly speaking, why is our world so unpredictable and oftentimes chaotic? Why would an all-knowing, all-loving, all-powerful God create such a place? Actually, he didn’t. A...

The Book of Clarence is a movie with Jesus that isn’t really about Jesus. As such, it takes a good deal of creative license with the biblical story. But does that make it blasphemy? And does a story have to be about Jesus to help us know him better? Let’s take a look at what the film teaches about Jesus—and us.   Author: Ryan Denison, PhD Narrator: Chris Elkins Subscribe: http://www.denisonforum.o...

Israel announced recently that it intends to kill every Hamas leader behind the October 7 massacre, wherever they are in the world. The IDF knows precisely where Yahya Sinwar, the mastermind of the October 7 terror attacks, is hiding in Gaza. Why haven’t they taken him out? Because he is hiding behind a large number of Israeli hostages. What should we think of a God who allows people to suffer for...

When an Alaska Airlines flight door blew out last Friday, no one was sitting next to it. Was this a miracle? If so, why did God allow the near-disaster? If God did in fact save lives on that plane, couldn’t he have prevented the accident? Because he is omniscient and omnipotent, the answer is clearly yes. So why does God sometimes do what seems best, but not always? Author: Jim Denison, PhD Narrat...

The Michigan Wolverines defeated the Washington Huskies decisively last night to win this year’s NCAA national football championship. I was discussing the popularity of spectator sports with my son, Dr. Ryan Denison, and he noted, “The best part of sports is the chance to be irrationally hopeful with little consequence for doing so.” He’s right: not much that can happen to an athlete during a game...
