Dezember 1917 verwandelt sich der Hafen von Halifax in ein apokalyptisches Inferno – ausgelöst durch die Kollision zweier Schiffe, von denen eines eine tödliche Fracht an Bord hat, von der niemand weiß.

Welcome to The Daily, where we go through the Bible verse by verse, chapter by chapter, every single day. We are taking a short break from Ecclesiastes to celebrate Easter with some unique devotionals to prepare our hearts for this week in history. Our text today is Revelation 22:12 Behold, I am coming soon, bringing my recompense with me, to repay each one for what he has done. — Revelation 22:12 Easter Was Just the Beginning The resurrection wasn't the end of the story—it was the beginning of the greatest promise yet to be fulfilled. Jesus came once as a suffering servant, but He will return as a conquering King. The empty tomb wasn't just proof of His victory over death—it was a guarantee that He is coming again to set all things right. The world is broken. Sin still corrupts. Injustice still thrives. But this is not how the story ends. Just as surely as Jesus walked out of the grave, He will return in glory. Living in Expectation Jesus doesn't tell us exactly when He will return, but He does tell us how to live while we wait. “Stay awake, for you do not know on what day your Lord is coming” (Matthew 24:42). “Be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect” (Matthew 24:44). “Blessed is the servant whom his master will find so doing when he comes” (Matthew 24:46). His return isn't just a distant hope—it's a daily call to action. We are not meant to sit idly by, waiting. We are called to live faithfully, serve boldly, and proclaim the gospel until He comes. Am I Living for His Return? If we truly believe Jesus is coming back, it should change how we live right now. Are we watching for Him, or are we distracted by the world? Are we living for eternity, or are we chasing temporary things? Are we sharing the gospel, knowing time is short? Many people spend their lives preparing for retirement but spend little time preparing for eternity. Which one matters more? The return of Christ isn't something to fear—it's our greatest hope. The King is coming, and He will make all things new (Revelation 21:5). #JesusIsComing, #EasterHope, #LiveForEternity ASK THIS: How does Jesus' return shape the way you live today? What distractions keep you from living in expectation of His coming? In what ways are you actively preparing for eternity? Who needs to hear the gospel from you before time runs out? DO THIS: Live each day with expectation and urgency, knowing Jesus could return at any moment. PRAY THIS: Lord, help me to live with my eyes fixed on eternity, never distracted by the temporary things of this world. May I stay faithful, bold, and ready for Your return. Amen. PLAY THIS: He Who Is To Come.

Welcome to The Daily, where we go through the Bible verse by verse, chapter by chapter, every single day. We are taking a short break from Ecclesiastes to celebrate Easter with some unique devotionals to prepare our hearts for this week in history. Our text today is John 21:15 When they had finished breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter, “Simon, son of John, do you love me more than these?” He said to him, “Yes, Lord; you know that I love you.” He said to him, “Feed my lambs.” — John 21:15 More Than Just Belief The resurrection wasn't the end of the story—it was the beginning of a movement. After Jesus rose, He didn't just celebrate His victory over death—He commissioned His followers to carry His mission forward. He didn't just say, “I'm alive!” He said, “Now go.” He appeared to His disciples, not just to prove He was real, but to call them to action. In John 21, Jesus has an intimate moment with Peter, the man who had denied Him three times. And instead of condemning Peter, Jesus restores him. But notice what He asks: “Do you love me?” Not, “Will you try harder?” Not, “Will you be better next time?” Jesus ties love to action. If Peter truly loves Him, he must feed His sheep—live out his faith, lead others, and spread the message of Christ. The resurrection calls for more than just belief—it calls for discipleship. Following Jesus Comes With a Cost Too many people want a Savior but not a Lord. They want the blessings of Jesus without the burden of obedience. But Jesus never said, “Believe in me and live comfortably.” He said, “If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me” (Luke 9:23). Following Jesus means: Surrendering our will to His. Living with boldness in a world that rejects Him. Loving others radically even when it's inconvenient. Carrying the cross of sacrifice and obedience. If the resurrection is real, then our lives should reflect it. We cannot claim to follow a risen King and live like He's still in the grave. Are You Truly Following? The call to follow Christ isn't just for pastors or missionaries—it's for every believer. You don't need a pulpit to preach; your life is the sermon. So ask yourself: Is my faith just a belief, or does it shape how I live? Am I willing to surrender comfort, reputation, or even relationships for Jesus? Am I making disciples, helping others follow Him too? Because faith without action isn't real faith (James 2:17). If Jesus is truly Lord, then following Him isn't optional—it's essential. Jesus didn't restore Peter just to make him feel better—He called him to something greater. And He does the same with us. The resurrection isn't just an event to celebrate; it's a reality that should transform how we live. If Jesus conquered death, then He is worthy of our complete surrender. If He is truly Lord, then obedience isn't a burden—it's our joy. So today, don't just believe—follow. Feed His sheep. Live boldly. Love sacrificially. And carry your cross, knowing that the One who rose from the grave walks with you every step of the way. #RisenKing #FaithInAction #FollowJesus ASK THIS: How does Jesus' question to Peter challenge your understanding of love and obedience? What areas of your life show that you are truly following Jesus, not just believing in Him? What sacrifices are you willing to make to follow Christ daily? How can you "feed His sheep" in your own sphere of influence? DO THIS: Live out your faith daily by serving, discipling, and boldly proclaiming Christ. PRAY THIS: Lord, help me to love You not just in words, but in action. Give me the courage to follow You boldly, surrender completely, and serve faithfully. Amen. PLAY THIS: The Jesus Way.

Welcome to The Daily, where we go through the Bible verse by verse, chapter by chapter, every single day. We are taking a short break from Ecclesiastes to celebrate Easter with some unique devotionals to prepare our hearts for this week in history. Our text today is Luke 24:5-6 And as they were frightened and bowed their faces to the ground, the men said to them, “Why do you seek the living among the dead? He is not here, but has risen. — Luke 24:5-6 The Moment Everything Changed The grave was sealed. The enemy thought he had won. The world had gone dark. But then—Sunday came. The impossible happened. Jesus walked out of the tomb, alive. Death lost its sting. Sin lost its grip. The enemy lost his claim. The resurrection changed everything. This wasn't just a miraculous event—it was the centerpiece of our faith. Without the resurrection, Christianity crumbles. Paul put it plainly: “If Christ has not been raised, your faith is futile and you are still in your sins” (1 Corinthians 15:17). But He did rise. And because of that, we have hope that never dies. Victory Over Death Jesus didn't cheat death—He defeated it. Every religion and philosophy must wrestle with one undeniable reality: death comes for us all. Kings, warriors, and wise men have all fallen before it. But Jesus? He conquered it. His resurrection was not just proof of His power—it was a promise. He told Martha before raising Lazarus: “I am the resurrection and the life. Whoever believes in me, though he die, yet shall he live” (John 11:25). Because Jesus rose: Sin is defeated. We are no longer slaves to it (Romans 6:6-7). Death is conquered. It is no longer the end, but the beginning (1 Corinthians 15:54-55). Hope is alive. Our faith is not in a dead prophet, but in a risen King! Resurrection Power in Us Here's the part we often miss: the same power that raised Jesus from the dead is at work in us today. Paul reminds us: “If the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, he who raised Christ Jesus from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies” (Romans 8:11). This means: You don't have to stay stuck in sin. His power is in you to walk in freedom. You don't have to fear the future. Death is no longer a threat; it's a doorway to eternity. You don't have to live defeated. The same God who rolled away the stone is alive in you! The resurrection isn't just something we celebrate—it's something we live in. Are You Living Like He's Alive? If Jesus truly defeated death, then why do we live like we're still in the grave? Why do we walk in fear when we serve a risen King? Why do we let sin hold us back when it was nailed to the cross? Why do we live like Friday when we know Sunday has come? Resurrection power is not just a past event—it's a present reality. The question is, are we living in it? So today, step into the resurrection life. Walk in boldness. Live with joy. Stand in victory. Because He is not here—He is risen! #HeIsRisen, #ResurrectionPower, #EasterVictory ASK THIS: How does the resurrection impact the way you live daily? What fears or sins do you need to surrender to Christ's resurrection power? Are you living like Jesus is truly alive? Why or why not? How can you share the hope of the resurrection with others this week? DO THIS: Walk today in the confidence that Jesus' resurrection power is alive in you—choose faith over fear, victory over defeat. PRAY THIS: Lord, thank You for the victory of the resurrection and the hope it gives me today. Help me to live boldly in Your power, knowing that You have conquered sin and death forever. Amen. PLAY THIS: Resurrection Power.

Welcome to The Daily, where we go through the Bible verse by verse, chapter by chapter, every single day. We are taking a short break from Ecclesiastes to celebrate Easter with some unique devotionals to prepare our hearts for this week in history. Our text today is Matthew 27:62-66 The next day, that is, after the day of Preparation, the chief priests and the Pharisees gathered before Pilate and said, “Sir, we remember how that impostor said, while he was still alive, ‘After three days I will rise.' Therefore order the tomb to be made secure until the third day, lest his disciples go and steal him away and tell the people, ‘He has risen from the dead,' and the last fraud will be worse than the first.” Pilate said to them, “You have a guard of soldiers. Go, make it as secure as you can.” So they went and made the tomb secure by sealing the stone and setting a guard. — Matthew 27:62-66 When Heaven Seems Silent Friday was filled with suffering. Sunday would bring victory. But Saturday? Saturday was silent. Jesus was dead. The disciples were scattered, confused, and afraid. The man they left everything to follow was gone—sealed behind a stone. Hope had been buried with Him. Where was God? We've all had a Saturday moment—a season where God seems distant, where prayers go unanswered, where hope feels lost. We know that God has worked in the past, and we believe He will move in the future—but what do we do when He's silent right now? God Is Still Working Though it seemed like nothing was happening, the truth is, Saturday was not wasted. Even in the silence, God was setting the stage for the greatest victory the world had ever seen. Jesus wasn't just lying in a tomb—He was defeating death. The disciples weren't abandoned—they were being prepared for resurrection power. The world wasn't without hope—it was on the brink of salvation's greatest moment. God's silence is never His absence. When we can't see Him moving, it doesn't mean He's not at work. Sometimes, the greatest breakthroughs come after the longest silences. Trusting God in the Waiting Many of us are in a Saturday season—waiting for an answer, a breakthrough, a miracle. But just because we don't see movement doesn't mean God isn't working. Saturday teaches us that faith isn't just about trusting when God speaks—it's about trusting when He doesn't. Will you trust Him when the prayers seem unanswered? Will you believe He's working, even when you don't feel it? Will you wait for Him, knowing Sunday is coming? Because it is. The silence will break. The stone will roll away. And when it does, we will see that God was never absent—He was always at work. #EasterHope, #TrustGod, #FaithInTheWaiting ASK THIS: When have you experienced a “Saturday” season in your life? How does knowing God is still working in silence change your perspective? What are some ways you can strengthen your faith while waiting? How can you encourage someone else going through a silent season? DO THIS: Reflect on a time when God felt silent—how did He reveal His faithfulness in the end? Write it down as a reminder of His work in the waiting. PRAY THIS: Lord, help me trust You in the waiting, even when I don't see or feel You moving. Strengthen my faith to believe that Your silence is never Your absence. Amen. PLAY THIS: Rattle!

Jaron ‘Boots' Ennis turned in a terrific showing to dismantle Eimantas Stanionis with aplomb inside six rounds. Yet there's still plenty to do before those labelling him great are proved correct. Critics still say he takes too many punches and one wonders if the talent pool at welterweight is deep enough to take him forward. Yet there should be no doubt he's a very special fighter. Yet Hannah Rankin's journey in combat sports might be reaching its end after a grisly KO loss in BKB saw her lying unconscious. And we reflect on the penultimate fight in Chris Eubank's career as This Week In History focuses on the British superstar climbing to cruiserweight to challenge Carl ‘The Cat' Thompson.

Welcome to The Daily, where we go through the Bible verse by verse, chapter by chapter, every single day. We are taking a short break from Ecclesiastes to celebrate Easter with some unique devotionals to prepare our hearts for this week in history. Our text today is Isaiah 53:5 But he was pierced for our transgressions; he was crushed for our iniquities; upon him was the chastisement that brought us peace, and with his wounds we are healed. — Isaiah 53:5 More Than Wood and Nails The cross is everywhere. We wear it on necklaces, see it in churches, and even use it as home décor. But in Jesus' time, the cross was nothing to be admired. It was a brutal instrument of execution—reserved for the worst criminals. When Jesus carried His cross to Golgotha, it wasn't just wood that weighed Him down. It was the weight of sin—yours and mine. Every betrayal, every lie, every lustful thought, every act of pride, selfishness, and hatred—all of it pressed upon His shoulders. We often speak of Jesus dying for us, but do we really grasp what that means? He was mocked so we could be accepted. He was beaten so we could be healed. He was forsaken so we would never be abandoned. He was pierced so we could be set free. This was not a symbolic act. It was real. It was gruesome. And it was necessary. The Cross Was Our Judgment Sin demands justice. A holy God cannot simply ignore it. If God were to shrug at sin, He would cease to be just. But instead of pouring out judgment on us, He placed it on His Son. This was the great exchange—the innocent for the guilty. Jesus took our punishment so we could receive His righteousness (2 Corinthians 5:21). When He cried out, “It is finished” (John 19:30), He wasn't just talking about His suffering. He was declaring that the debt of sin had been paid in full. Nothing left to add. Nothing left to prove. Carrying Our Own Cross Jesus said, “If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me” (Luke 9:23). The cross wasn't just His burden—it's ours too. Not to pay for sin (only He could do that), but to die to ourselves. To die to our selfish desires. To die to our love for the world. To die to anything that competes with Jesus as our greatest love. Salvation is free, but following Jesus will cost you everything. The question is, are you willing to carry your cross? This Easter, don't just observe the cross—embrace it. Jesus didn't suffer and die so we could remain the same. He calls us to follow Him, to surrender, and to live in the freedom He purchased with His blood. So, will you lay down your sin, your pride, your plans—and take up your cross? Will you step into the life He died to give you? If today is the day you choose to follow Jesus, or if you're ready to renew your commitment, don't keep it to yourself. Let us know in the comments, or reach out—we'd love to walk this journey with you. #TakeUpYourCross #ItIsFinished #EasterHope ASK THIS: What does Isaiah 53:5 reveal about the weight of Jesus' sacrifice? How does Jesus' suffering change the way you view your own sin? What does it mean for you personally to "take up your cross daily"? How is God calling you to surrender more of your life to Him today? DO THIS: Embrace the cross—not just as a symbol, but as a call to surrender your life fully to Jesus. PRAY THIS: Jesus, thank You for bearing the punishment I deserved and for offering me freedom through Your sacrifice. Help me to daily take up my cross, surrendering my will to Yours. Amen. PLAY THIS: The Power of the Cross.

Welcome to The Daily, where we go through the Bible verse by verse, chapter by chapter, every single day. We are taking a short break from Ecclesiastes this week to celebrate Easter with some special devotionals aimed at preparing our hearts for this week in history. Our text today is Matthew 26:14-15 Then one of the twelve, whose name was Judas Iscariot, went to the chief priests and said, “What will you give me if I deliver him over to you?” And they paid him thirty pieces of silver. — Matthew 26:14-15 The Price of a Savior Thirty pieces of silver. That was the cost of betraying the Son of God. The price of a slave. The value Judas placed on Jesus. Judas had walked with Jesus for three years. He had seen miracles, heard the teachings, and even broken bread with Him. Yet in the end, he sold the Savior for pocket change. It's easy to condemn Judas. But before we do, we must ask ourselves—have we ever traded Jesus for less? When we compromise faith for comfort, are we not betraying Him? When we choose sin over obedience, do we not exchange Him for temporary gain? When we remain silent when we should stand for truth, do we not sell Him out to avoid rejection? Betrayal isn't just Judas' story—it's ours too. A Heart That Sells Out Judas didn't betray Jesus in a moment. His heart had been drifting long before that night. In John 12:6, we learn that Judas had been stealing from the disciples' money bag. His love for money had been growing in secret, and eventually, it overpowered his love for Christ. Betrayal always begins in the heart. It starts small—unconfessed sin, divided loyalty, a love for the world. Then one day, the moment comes when we must choose between Jesus and something else. Judas chose silver. What about us? What are the “thirty pieces of silver” that tempt you? Success? Approval? Comfort? Hidden sin? If we're not careful, we will trade what is eternal for what is temporary—just like Judas. The Tragic End of Betrayal Judas thought silver would satisfy him. But sin never delivers what it promises. When he realized the weight of his betrayal, he tried to undo it (Matthew 27:3-5). But guilt without repentance leads to despair. Instead of running to Jesus for mercy, Judas ran to the grave. Yet contrast this with Peter, who also betrayed Jesus that same night. Peter denied Jesus three times—but instead of running from Christ, he ran back to Him. And Jesus restored him. The difference? Judas regretted his sin. Peter repented of it. The good news? No betrayal is too great for Jesus to forgive. If we bring our failures to Him, we don't have to end like Judas. Instead, we can be restored like Peter. Where Is My Loyalty? Judas shows us that proximity to Jesus doesn't equal faithfulness. You can be near Christ and still betray Him. Faithfulness isn't about knowing Jesus' words—it's about treasuring Him above all else. So today, ask yourself: What competes for my loyalty to Christ? Where do I need to confess and turn back before small compromises become full betrayals? Am I running from Jesus in guilt or to Jesus in repentance? If you've felt the weight of compromise, the pull of temptation, or the sting of regret—know this: Jesus is still calling you back. Judas walked away. Peter ran back. You have the same choice today. No matter how far you've drifted, His grace is greater. His arms are open. His mercy is new. Will you come back to Him? Take a moment now—confess, surrender, and turn to the One who gave everything for you. #Easter #Forgiven #RunToJesus ASK THIS: What are the “thirty pieces of silver” in my life that tempt me to compromise my faith? Have I ever traded Jesus for comfort, approval, or hidden sin? When I fail, do I run away in guilt or back to Jesus in repentance? What steps can I take today to ensure my heart stays faithful to Christ? DO THIS: Take a moment to reflect on any area where you have compromised your faith, confess it to Jesus, and choose to run back to Him today. PRAY THIS: Lord, reveal any area where my heart has drifted from You, and give me the strength to turn back in repentance. Thank You for Your mercy that never runs out and for calling me back to You. Amen. PLAY THIS: Truth Be Told.

Welcome to The Daily, where we go through the Bible verse by verse, chapter by chapter, every single day. Today, we are taking a short break this week to celebrate Easter with some special devotionals aimed at preparing our hearts for this week in history. Our text today is John 12:12-13 The next day the large crowd that had come to the feast heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem. So they took branches of palm trees and went out to meet him, crying out, “Hosanna! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord, even the King of Israel!” — John 12:12-13 The Moment Everything Changed Every great story has a moment where everything shifts—a decision, a revelation, or an event that changes the course of history. For all of humanity, that moment was the week Jesus entered Jerusalem. Imagine the scene. Crowds flood the streets, waving palm branches, shouting, “Hosanna!” They believe their long-awaited Messiah has come to overthrow Rome and establish His kingdom. They expect a warrior on a warhorse. But instead, they see a man riding a donkey—a symbol of peace. This was God's plan unfolding, but not in the way anyone expected. The people wanted a political savior; Jesus came as the Lamb of God, destined for a cross. They shouted for a king, but in a matter of days, those same voices would cry, “Crucify Him!” This wasn't just a parade. It was a collision of expectations and reality, a moment that revealed who Jesus truly was. The Unexpected King Jesus' entrance into Jerusalem wasn't just fulfillment of prophecy (Zechariah 9:9)—it was a defining moment. It forced the world to make a decision: Would they follow Jesus for who He truly was, or reject Him because He wasn't what they wanted? We face the same choice today. We love a Jesus who blesses us, who comforts us, who answers our prayers the way we want. But what happens when He challenges us? What happens when His plan doesn't match our expectations? True faith doesn't follow Jesus because of what He might do—it follows Him because of who He is. Is Jesus Lord of My Life? The crowd cheered for Jesus when it was popular—but they turned on Him when it became inconvenient. Many today do the same. It's easy to praise Jesus when He aligns with our desires, but what about when He calls us to surrender, to trust, to follow at a cost? Following Christ means letting go of our version of the story and trusting His. He is not just a king; He is THE King—the one who rules with righteousness, grace, and truth. If you've never made the decision to follow Jesus, today is your moment. He's not just a good teacher or a historical figure—He is the Savior who gave His life for you. Just like the crowds in Jerusalem, we all have a choice. Will we embrace Him as Lord, or will we turn away when His plan challenges us? Jesus came not to meet our expectations, but to meet our greatest need—forgiveness and new life. He died on the cross for our sins and rose again, proving He is the way, the truth, and the life. If you're ready to surrender and trust Him fully, pray this: "Jesus, I believe You are the Son of God. I confess my sin and my need for You. I surrender my life to You as my Lord and Savior. Lead me, and help me follow You with all my heart. Amen." If you prayed that, let someone know! Don't walk this journey alone. Find a Bible-believing church, dive into God's Word with me right here every day, and keep growing in faith. #EasterDevotional, #JesusIsKing, #PalmSunday ASK THIS: How do my expectations of Jesus compare to who He really is? Am I following Jesus for blessings or because He is Lord? How do I respond when Jesus' plan challenges my desires? What does it mean for me to surrender my life to Jesus fully? DO THIS: Surrender your expectations and fully trust Jesus as your Lord and Savior today. PRAY THIS: Jesus, I surrender my expectations and trust in You as my King. Help me follow You fully, even when Your plan challenges my own. Amen. PLAY THIS: Hosanna.

In dieser epische Musikzeitreise episode of Past Tens: The Top 10 Zeitmaschine, your trusty hosts — Herr Doktor Dave and Der Wilden Miltmeister — strap on their sonic lederhosen and dive kopfüber into the Billboard Top 10 Albums for the Woche ending April 12, 1975 — ja wohl! With all the precision of a Bavarian clockmaker and the subtlety of a bratwurst cannon, they analyze und rocken diskutieren legendary platten from musikalische titans like Led Zeppelin (or as they say in Munich, Blei Zeppelin), David Bowie (Der Dünne Weirdo), John Lennon (Der Friedensbringer mit der Brille), and Earth, Wind & Fire (Erde, Wind und Feuerkraft!). This episode is vollgepackt with music history, lustige Anekdoten, and enough nostalgia to fill a beer stein the size of Düsseldorf. Dave und Milt pay tribute to the unterschätzte Helden — unsung heroes like Minnie Riperton (Die Göttin der Hohen Töne) and Robin Trower (Der Gitarren-Zauberer von Essex). Of course, it wouldn't be a Past Tens episode without their patented spielfreudige Segmente like The Play Date (Das Spielzeit-Quiz!), where they test each other's Rock und Roll Gehirn on song trivia — and The Substitution (Der Platten-Tausch!), where they boot an album off the list like a rude tourist from Oktoberfest and replace it with a beloved verlorene Klassiker. This episode is ein absoluter Ohrenschmaus for music lovers who appreciate both the Mega-Hits and Tiefe Schnittwunden (deep cuts) from the golden, shag-carpeted glory of the Mid-70er Jahre.

(Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Jonathan Clark and Adam McManus 300 million Christians worldwide face imprisonment, torture, and murder International Christian Concern released its 2025 Global Persecution Index, highlighting 20 countries where Christians face extreme persecution. Among those countries are Nigeria, Iran, India, China, and North Korea. Over the last year, persecution has worsened dramatically in Nicaragua, India, and Nigeria. Christians face everything from government hostility and Hindu nationalism to brutal violence and technological surveillance.  Jeff King with International Christian Concern said, “Approximately 300 million Christians worldwide face persecution of all types, including imprisonment, torture, and assassination.” Despite persecution, Christianity is showing resilience and even growing in countries like Iran and Indonesia. Indonesia joins Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa group Speaking of Indonesia, the Southeast Asian country, which is also the fourth most populous country in the world, joined the BRICS organization on Monday. The intergovernmental organization began with Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa – thus the acronym B-R-I-C-S. It has expanded to include Egypt, Ethiopia, Iran, and the United Arab Emirates.  The BRICS group is seen as a counterbalance to western powers in the G7 which includes Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the United Kingdom, and the United States. 70,000 Californians evacuate as 20,000 acres burn In the U.S., three major wildfires brought destruction to the Los Angeles area of California yesterday. The fires have burned over 20,000 acres, destroying over 1,000 buildings and killing at least two people.  70,000 people are under evacuation orders. Stoked by high winds, the Palisades Fire is the most destructive fire on record in Los Angeles County. As of yesterday, the fires were 0% contained. James Nelligan, a resident of Los Angeles County, texted, “It's super smoky; ash is raining down.” 87% of Congress are self-identified Christians Pew Research released their latest Faith on the Hill report, covering the religious composition of the 119th U.S. Congress. Self-identified Christians now make up 87% of voting members in the Senate and House of Representatives combined. That's down just a smidge from 88% in the last session and 92% a decade ago. It's still much higher than the Christian makeup of the general U.S. adult population at 62%. Also only 1% of Congress is religiously unaffiliated compared to 28% of the general public. Protestants continue to be the largest group in Congress at 55% followed by Catholics at 28%. However, the share of Protestants is down from nearly 75% in the 1960s. In 2 Samuel 23:3, King David said, “The God of Israel said, the Rock of Israel spoke to me: ‘He who rules over men must be just, ruling in the fear of God.” 4,000 people have asked Trump to free imprisoned pro-lifers Over 4,000 people now have signed a petition through change.org for President-elect Donald Trump to free imprisoned pro-lifers. The petition includes the names of many pro-lifers who are facing prison, house arrest, charges, or sentencing for peacefully protesting at abortion mills. The petition to Trump says, “We ask you to reverse the weaponization of the Department of Justice and pardon these individuals, whose only crime was peacefully pleading for the lives of babies about to die. More than this, we beg you to consider the case for the preborn who have been sentenced to death with no trial. They are unseen and unheard, totally dependent on others, and completely vulnerable.” You can sign the petition through a special link in our transcript today at TheWorldview.com. Anniversary of Jim Elliot's murder And finally, this week in history marks when five Christian missionaries — named Jim Elliot, Nate Saint, Roger Youderian, Ed McCully, and Pete Fleming — were speared to death by Ecuadorean Indians they sought to evangelize. They died on January 8, 1956. Jim Elliot had famously said, “He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain what he cannot lose.” Remarkably, after their murders, Jim's wife, Elisabeth Elliot, and Nate's sister, Rachel Saint, continued the evangelistic outreach to the very people who had killed their relatives. In October 1958, Mrs. Elliot, and her three-year-old daughter Valerie, went to live with the Indian tribe along with Rachel Saint. Elisabeth Elliot later published two books featuring the story of the missionaries and how God used them. They were entitled Through Gates of Splendor and Shadow of the Almighty: The Life and Testament of Jim Elliot. You and your family can also watch a 34-minute animated Torchlighters video entitled “The Jim Elliot Story”. It's free and available for everybody. In Matthew 16:25, Jesus said, “For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake will find it.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Thursday, January 9th, in the year of our Lord 2025. Subscribe by Amazon Music or by iTunes or email to our unique Christian newscast at www.TheWorldview.com.
