The Senate voted early Saturday morning to confirm acting Attorney General Todd Blanche to permanently lead the Department of Justice. Blanche has pledged to pursue policies limiting the distribution of abortion pills into states where abortion is banned or restricted. Medication abortions now account for the majority of abortions in the US, raising questions not only about access but also about r...

The CIA has established a new task force focused on Cuba as the Trump administration increases pressure on the island’s government, while years of sanctions and an oil embargo continue to reshape daily life for ordinary Cubans. Amid worsening shortages, many have responded with remarkable creativity and an increased dependence on neighbors, churches, and one another. Their experience raises a broa...

From negotiations over the Strait of Hormuz to warnings about earthquakes, biological attacks, toxic caterpillars, and even sharks, the news offers no shortage of reasons to fear. Yet a landmark study reports a powerful correlation between sustained religious participation and healthier coping and well-being—with one important caveat. The distinction between cultural religion and biblical Christia...

Democratic Socialism has been described as “a diffuse political ideology that advocates for more public control over the economy and a more expansive role for government in providing social services.” Its leading organization in the US, known as the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA), endorsed twenty-one candidates in last night’s primary elections, many of whom were successful. What do democr...

GLP-1 weight-loss drugs might weaken the effectiveness of oral contraceptives. According to Cambridge scientist Giles Yeo, women using the birth control drugs are “going to get a lot of unexpected babies.” That’s dramatically better than the alternative, however. But if women are taking contraceptive pills, they presumably do not want to become pregnant. If they then become pregnant, are they more...

WNBA player Sophie Cunningham has drawn controversy for saying that loving others must include telling the truth and protecting female athletes from competing against biological men. Her comments have prompted rallies and disciplinary action, yet received surprisingly little attention from the broader media. That relative silence may reveal something significant about where our culture is headed....

President Trump announced Thursday evening on Truth Social that “the Board of Peace reached an agreement for the complete disarmament of Hamas and all other armed groups in Gaza. What exactly is this plan? How likely is it to succeed? And how should Christians respond today? About Denison Forum and The Daily Article Today's Daily Article - Special Edition was written by Dr. Jim Denison. You ca...

Gen Z Christians are increasingly drawn to spiritual disciplines like silence, solitude, prayer, and Sabbath-keeping, yet that renewed interest has not produced a corresponding rise in church attendance. The trend raises an important question: Can we become disciples while pursuing spiritual formation largely on our own? Our experience during the pandemic reminded many of us that “meeting together...

Dr. Anthony Fauci invoked the Fifth Amendment more than one hundred times during a contentious Senate hearing yesterday, reviving memories of the pandemic and the mortality it forced us to confront. Most of us would rather avoid thinking about death and return to the business of living. Yet Scripture suggests that recognizing how fleeting our lives are may be essential to using them well. Today, w...

More than a thousand pages from Dr. Anthony Fauci’s private diary are making headlines ahead of his testimony before Congress today. While the entries have renewed debate over the pandemic and his public role, they also raise a more personal question: What would our private thoughts reveal about who we truly are? Christianity offers more than outward behavior modification—Jesus works from the insi...

Recent reports of Christians preaching to fellow airline passengers raise a difficult question: If the gospel is the only cure for humanity’s terminal condition, how urgently should we share it? Yet while some believers evangelize captive audiences, surveys suggest most Christians rarely witness at all. A surprising creative choice in Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey helps explain why our culture o...

Deadly attacks in Seattle and Berlin raise one of faith’s hardest questions: If God intervened to protect innocent people in Scripture, why does he not always do so now? When suffering challenges our confidence in his goodness, trusting him can feel like a leap into the dark. Yet the distinction between blind faith and rational faith offers another way to understand that choice. Today, we consider...

Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey brings Homer’s ancient epic to life with spectacular scale, but the history behind the story raises questions the film itself cannot answer. Unlike Odysseus, the evidence for the historicity of Jesus is conclusive—yet both stories portray a world in which good and evil are real and morality has consequences. Our deeper problem is that recognizing what is right canno...

As sweltering “dog days” stretch through the longest possible unofficial summer, we may wish Earth’s seasons worked differently. Yet our planet’s tilt, orbit, magnetic field, and even the way ice floats are all precisely suited to sustain life. While some attribute this remarkable balance to cosmic chance, Scripture begins with a different explanation: “In the beginning, God created the heavens an...

The people who age best may not be those who fight hardest against getting older, but those who become more selective about what truly matters. The daily reminders of our mortality can produce fear, but David responded to suffering by declaring, “My times are in your hand.” When we trust that every season is held by God, even pain can become part of what John Keats called “the vale of Soul-making....

An explosive device outside a New York immigration court and the FBI’s interception of hundreds of suspicious drones at World Cup events remind us that unseen threats may be closer than we realize. The same is true spiritually: while our culture assumes all religions lead to the same destination, Scripture declares that salvation is found in Jesus alone. Sharing that truth can feel intimidating, b...

From the history-making birth of JD Vance’s fourth child to a World Cup victory for Spain and the deaths of American soldiers in the Middle East, the weekend brought news both joyful and tragic. J. R. R. Tolkien coined the word eucatastrophe to describe “the sudden, unexpected turn toward joy that occurs at the darkest moment of a story.” This joy does not erase the sorrow that came before it but...

President Trump used last night’s address to focus largely on election integrity, highlighting declassified information and again calling on the Senate to pass the SAVE America Act. While requiring voter identification and proof of citizenship may seem reasonable, implementing such sweeping changes before November could create significant burdens and errors. The larger lesson extends far beyond el...

Cigarettes seem to be “creeping back to the aspirational center,” appearing again on magazine covers and across TikTok, Reels, and Instagram despite remaining the leading cause of preventable death and disease in the US. No one who smokes a cigarette thinks it will kill them today; the social appeal and addiction are a present-tense allure. The same is true of nearly all temptation: we want what w...

Scientists say they have built a cell from scratch for the first time, creating a synthetic cell that can feed, grow, and replicate like a natural cell. While researchers stress that they have not created life, the breakthrough raises important questions about what this could mean for the future—and whether it should be done at all. As technology continues to outstrip our ethics, from AI to biomed...

A parasitic outbreak of cyclosporiasis spreading across thirty-one states offers practical reminders about washing produce, but it also illustrates a deeper truth: treating symptoms is not the same as identifying their source. The same is true of the cultural chaos surrounding us. Scripture traces our moral illness not merely to society’s institutions or influences, but to the fallen human heart....

The deaths of Senator Lindsey Graham, actor Sam Neill, and dozens of others in tragedies around the world remind us how quickly we move past headlines that fall outside our own “concentric circles of concern.” But God is not limited as we are. He is with us and in us every moment of every day, weeping as we weep and walking with us through the floods, fires, and fears of life. Imagine what today w...

Today marks ten months since Charlie Kirk was murdered while speaking at an event in Utah. Perhaps it’s fitting then that today also marks the end of the preliminary hearings for Tyler Robinson, the man accused of killing Kirk. Yet conspiracy theories around Kirk’s death continue to proliferate, reminding us that we often seek explanations that feel emotionally satisfying over those that are simpl...

Graham Platner suspended his Senate campaign in Maine last night after a series of controversies and allegations brought his past into national scrutiny. His story reminds us of the biblical warning, “Be sure your sin will find you out.” What we do today echoes tomorrow, often in ways we cannot imagine and cannot change. While God will forgive all we confess to him and forget all he forgives, the...

President Trump said this morning that he believes his ceasefire deal with Iran is over, the latest development in a conflict that has been going on for months with no apparent end. While we may not feel personally connected to the ninety-three million people living in Iran or those threatened by Iranian aggression in the region, the good news is that God does not feel the same way. The Lord who k...
