Article Description Earlier this week, a court in California ruled that Facebook’s parent company, Meta, and Google’s YouTube were liable for damages of $4.2 million and $1.8 million, respectively, after a 20-year-old woman sued the companies for creating products that she claims led to anxiety, depression, and a host of other problems in her life. What sets the latest suit apart is that these com...

Give today and receive your copy of Dr. Jim Denison’s Biblical Insight into Tough Questions vol 5 NASA has announced plans to construct a $20 billion base on the moon’s surface. The purpose is to install more powerful telescopes, mine elements that are rare on earth but abundant on the moon, and allow for further technological advancements through residual inventions, just as it was after our last...

We’re learning this morning that the US has sent Iran a fifteen-point plan to end the war in the Middle East. However, Israeli journalist Amit Segal reports that Israeli leaders fear the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) will undermine any agreement with the West. Yesterday’s announcement that Mohammad Bagher Zolghadr, a former IRGC commander, will replace the slain Ali Larijani as head of...

According to the Los Angeles Times , West Hollywood’s city council has unanimously approved advancing what the article calls a “registry of multi-partner domestic relationships.” How does this affect you and me in our own lives? It is human nature to focus on issues that seem most relevant to us personally. This “fight-or-flight response” is our natural, automatic reaction to stress or danger. Jan...

Give today and receive your copy of Dr. Jim Denison’s Biblical Insight into Tough Questions vol 5 Both pilots were killed and dozens of people were injured late last night when an Air Canada Express jet collided with a fire truck while landing at New York’s LaGuardia Airport. Earlier in the day, I received news that my spiritual mother had passed away. Some deaths are tragic while others are cause...

Peter Thiel is drawing attention for hosting a Rome conference warning that technologies like AI could help usher in the Antichrist, even as critics accuse him of fueling fear around the end times. While concerns about global instability, war, and innovation are real, Scripture reminds us that “many antichrists have come” and that speculation about who the Antichrist might be is largely fruitless....

The legendary actor and comedian Dick Van Dyke recently became a centenarian. He explains his longevity simply: he keeps a positive outlook and never gets angry. Scientists agree with his theory. However, you and I didn’t need scientists to tell us what we innately understood, that happier people are typically healthier people. If only knowing and doing God’s will were so obvious and intuitive. In...

In April 2025, Pastor William Schonemann of New River Bible Chapel in Arizona was found dead inside his home in a position authorities described as resembling crucifixion. Last week, the man accused of killing the pastor asked a court to sentence him to death. He stated, “It’s an undisputable fact that the crime was heinous in nature. I intended it to be heinous.” Our faith does not exempt us from...

Israel’s defense minister announced this morning that its military killed top Iranian security official Ali Larijani in an overnight strike. In other news, the US embassy in Baghdad has been targeted by explosive drones, British Airways says it is suspending some flights to the Middle East until the end of May, and US gas prices are continuing to rise as a result of the war. However, much of the f...

“One Battle After Another” won the Academy Award for Best Picture last night, along with five other Oscars. The awards show prompted some reflections for me, which have less to do with the films themselves than with the experience of watching them. The best movies are often the most surprising, the ones with a plot twist we did not foresee, films that convey an unanticipated message that nonethele...

While the Trump Administration’s focus remains largely on the war in Iran, the president took some time earlier this week to address the situation with Cuba as well. Hinting that they may be next in line for regime change, he stated, “It may be a friendly takeover, it may not be a friendly takeover. It wouldn’t matter because they’re really, they’re down to, as I say, fumes.” Until a deal is reach...

People in the Northern Territory of Australia are being warned to stay out of rain-fueled rivers in their area because, as one official put it, “There are crocs absolutely everywhere.” If you pay much attention to secular culture, you might feel the same way about the moral issues of our time. One response is to align our beliefs with our critics, adopting the liberal theology we have been discuss...

The Iran war is now well into its second week and has involved at least twelve nations across the Middle East and beyond. But it also poses a threat to Americans with which most of us are not familiar. “Stagflation,” the combination of falling growth (stagnation) and rising prices (inflation), is a specter from the 1970s we don’t want to revisit. As the so-called First Law of Ecology states, “Ever...

Be a Denison Forum Frontline Partner Article Description The way Christians approach our faith and its relationship with the world is foundational to our understanding of the world and our role in it. James Talarico, who is a Presbyterian seminary student and thus considered a “Bible scholar” by some in the media, is advancing his liberal version of Christianity with regard to abortion, transgende...

James Talarico has become a national figure after winning the Texas Democratic Senate primary last week. His theological worldview has especially garnered attention. Talarico has stated that “Jesus never said anything” about abortion, transgenderism, or gay marriage. Talarico’s positions are consistent with a stream of theology often called “liberalism.” Where does it come from? How are we to unde...

Article Description President Trump announced yesterday afternoon that Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Kristi Noem would be reassigned to a new security initiative called The Shield of the Americas. While the move is not technically considered a demotion, the president’s frustrations with Noem have been growing for some time, with Tuesday’s hearing before the Senate Judiciary Commi...

Be a Denison Forum Frontline Partner Article Description ast night, the Pentagon released the last two names of the six US soldiers killed in a Kuwait attack a day after the US and Israel launched Operation Epic Fury. If Iran has its way, they will be only the first of many American deaths to come. The reason the Iranian regime wants to survive this war at all costs is not just personal, as selfis...

Be a Denison Forum Frontline Partner As Iran has expanded the war by targeting US allies in the Middle East, it is facing a consequence it apparently did not expect: the Wall Street Journal reports that “Gulf states, rattled by volleys of Iranian drones and missiles targeting their hotels, ports, and airports, are concluding the Iranian peril must be confronted.” However, there is a consequence to...

A third victim has now died from last Sunday’s mass shooting in Austin, Texas. The FBI believe the attack may be related to terrorism. A very troubling aspect of this story is its possible connection to hardline Muslim clerics in the US who have been claiming that war between the US and Iran is part of a prophetic destiny tied to the return of the Mahdi, their messiah. One of them closed his Frida...

As “Operation Epic Fury” continues, Iran and its proxies are expanding their response as they fire missiles at Israel and the Arab states. When news broke Saturday that Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei had been killed, one person in Tehran responded: “I think the Middle East has become a better place. Even [the] world has become a better place now.” We can be grateful that he can no longer terrorize hi...

Article Description: Early this morning, US and Israeli forces launched “Operation Epic Fury.” In a video statement posted Saturday at 2:30 a.m. ET, President Trump stated, “A short time ago, the United States military began major combat operations in Iran. Our objective is to defend the American people by eliminating imminent threats from the Iranian regime.” This is the latest news on what may b...

When US forces captured former Venezuelan president Nicolas Maduro, the strike included Anthropic’s AI tool, Claude. A key part of Anthropic’s usage policies is that their AI cannot be used to “facilitate or promote any act of violence or intimidation.” AI has given plenty of reasons to be wary of crossing that line, but Anthropic had to know that this stance could pose something of a problem when...

Commentators are still responding to President Trump’s “State of the Union” address in the predictably partisan ways you would expect. I genuinely grieve to see the depth of rancor and bitterness that exists in our country toward fellow Americans with whom we happen to disagree politically. And I genuinely question whether our democratic experiment can be sustained while we sustain such animosity...

Be a Denison Forum Frontline Partner Article Description President Trump delivered his annual “State of the Union” address to Congress and the nation last night. The speech was the longest ever, lasting 108 minutes, and covered a range of topics designed to buttress his party’s chances in the upcoming midterms. A highlight for me and for many was the entrance of the US men’s hockey team into the H...

On this day four years ago, Russia invaded Ukraine. What became the largest ground war in Europe since World War II has reshaped global security, energy markets, and geopolitical alliances. I’m certain that you believe Vladimir Putin’s criminal invasion of Ukraine and his ongoing threats to the future of Europe to be morally wrong. My question is, why are there such categories as right and wrong i...
