Article DescriptionThe ongoing US government shutdown is the longest full shutdown in US history and the second-longest of any kind. Among its consequences, the air traffic control tower in Hollywood Burbank Airport in California was recently left unstaffed for six hours, forcing pilots to communicate among themselves to avoid incidents when taxiing to and from the runway. And forty-two million Americans who rely on the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (food stamps) will go without their

Hurricane Melissa could be the most powerful storm ever

Hurricane Melissa is now the strongest storm on the planet this year. The Category 5 storm is expected to devastate Jamaica, an island of more than 2.7 million people, before continuing across eastern Cuba, Haiti, the Dominican Republic, and the Bahamas. How can an all-knowing, all-loving, all-powerful God allow innocent suffering to exist? Even though I have done so often in books and articles, the question persists because the issue persists. And the closer to home it strikes, the deeper the

A total of thirty-four people have been arrested. A counselor colleague once told me that Satan is a great economist: he likes to do the greatest damage in the most efficient manner possible.

East Wing demolished for new White House State Ballroom

2025/10/24

President Trump’s plan for a $300 million White House ballroom funded entirely by private donors has drawn reactions that mirror our partisan divide—what you thought before you heard the news likely governs what you think of it now. Meanwhile, as James Marriott observes, “reading for pleasure has fallen by 40 percent in the last twenty years,” and “politics in the age of short-form video favors heightened emotion, ignorance, and unevidenced assertions.” Gary Burge warns that neglecting Scripture

According to a new report from Pew Research Center, a growing share of US adults say religion is gaining influence in American life. This is good news for society, and scientific studies help explain why: there is a neurological link between prayer, controlled breathing, and the release of serotonin, a neurotransmitter essential for regulating mood, emotional balance, and overall mental health. But these are the side effects of religion. Its greatest significance comes when our religion is a

The Louvre museum in Paris was closed again yesterday after four thieves broke into a gallery containing the French Crown Jewels on Sunday morning, stealing eight pieces of Napoleonic jewelry. One of the stolen pieces was an emerald necklace containing 1,138 diamonds gifted by Napoleon to his second wife. According to art detective Arthur Brand, the authorities have a week before the thieves will likely melt the silver and gold down and dismantle the diamonds, causing the priceless items to

“No Kings” protests and the future of American democracy

2025/10/20

“No Kings” rallies held across the country over the weekend gave the “anti-Trump movement its biggest moment so far,” according to The Hill. Participants warned that the president threatens democracy; some Republicans blame the demonstrations for prolonging the US government shutdown. As the news demonstrates daily, the key to the success of a democracy lies not with its system but with the people it serves and those they elect to serve them. Thomas Jefferson observed, “The government you elect is

Al Qaeda is on the rise in nuclear-armed Pakistan, part of a growing terrorism hub that it is organizing in South and Central Asia. Meanwhile, Hamas is pursuing what the New York Times calls a “bloody crackdown” on its rivals in Gaza as it seeks to assert its dominance in the territory. Ideas have consequences, and bad ideas have victims. But when “bad” by definition is what the other side believes and “good” is what I believe, when there is no north on the compass because no one believes in

The US sold Qatar a contingent of F-15 fighter jets in 2016, and allowing their pilots to train in the continental US was a condition of the purchase. Qatar—which is smaller than the state of Connecticut—does not have the space to adequately train with the jets in its territory, and the topography around the Mountain Home base is the closest fit to what they have back home. Last month, Hegseth announced that any journalist who wants to maintain access to the Pentagon must sign a statement

Negotiations began in Egypt yesterday to finalize a deal based on President Trump’s Gaza ceasefire plan. The talks are expected to last “a few days,” with a focus on a proposed hostages-for-prisoners swap. The negotiations began on the eve of one of the most tragic anniversaries in Jewish history. Hamas’s surprise attack on October 7, 2023, is considered the deadliest and most brutal terrorist assault in Israel’s history with over a thousand people killed. In addition, the terrorists took 251

Pro-life supporters are decrying the Trump administration’s decision to approve a new generic mifepristone pill, calling it “wildly disappointing,” while mediators in Egypt work on the closest Israel-Hamas peace plan since the October 7 attacks. Both stories illustrate what Nicholas Wade calls the clash between our fallen human nature and political systems meant to restrain it—a clash our Founders understood but could not cure.

The Major League Baseball playoffs are underway. This year’s storylines—from underdogs chasing history to dynasties led by stars like Shohei Ohtani—remind us that even the best records don’t guarantee success. As in baseball, investing too much of ourselves in things likely to bring us disappointment can leave us feeling wounded. But Jesus warned we should expect suffering in this world. In fact, Jesus was quite clear that we should expect a level of suffering in this life that is directly related
