In one of the largest prisoner exchanges between Russia and the West since the end of the Cold War, twenty-four prisoners from seven countries were released from Russian captivity yesterday, including journalist Evan Gershkovich and former US Marine Paul Whelan. But while those released from Russia were innocents held for false crimes, the eight prisoners released back to Russia were all convicted criminals. In an unfair and fallen world, God calls us to look beyond the sin to his callings for us.

On Tuesday, Israel assassinated the Hezbollah leader it holds responsible for the Golan Heights massacre. Yesterday, Iran’s Ali Khamenei ordered a retaliation against Israel for the assassination of a Hamas leader in Tehran. Now we are waiting for the response of Iran and Hezbollah to Israel’s latest targeted killings. In today’s article, we discuss praying for our enemies to the Prince of Peace.

President Biden’s proposals for reforming the Supreme Court continue to generate headlines and illustrate the fact that politics are downstream from culture. The Wall Street Journal called his proposals “an assault on judicial independence and the constitutional order.” These types of reforms were likely to come about regardless of political party in power. Today we look at the One who is truly in power and how Jesus can change culture from upstream.

Saturday’s missile attack that killed 12 children in the Golan Heights is inflaming tensions between Israel and Hezbollah. The Majdal Shams attack came hours after an Israeli airstrike on south Lebanon killed three Hezbollah members. Today we talk about why each side would escalate the conflict and how the only source of true peace in the world cannot be produced by the world.

The Paris Olympic opening ceremony included a depiction of Leonardo da Vinci’s “The Last Supper” that included drag queens, a transgender model, and a naked singer. A Paris 2024 spokeswoman said yesterday, “Clearly there was never an intention to show disrespect to any religious group.” However, it may have been better if an offense against the Christian faith had been intentional.

The 2024 Summer Olympics officially begin today and will continue until August 11. But while the Olympics will be entertaining—and the chance to root for your country always adds a level of intrigue to even the most obscure events—a recent article by Brad East on the relationship between God and the games is what’s most on my mind as the opening ceremonies draw near.

Mark Legg writes on the Olympics,

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu addressed a joint meeting of Congress yesterday afternoon. Thousands of protesters against the war in Gaza converged on Washington to condemn his visit, while roughly half of House and Senate Democrats skipped his address. In an Oval Office address last night, President Biden explained his candidacy dropout as a decision to “pass the torch to a new generation.” When so much history happens so quickly, we need to ask God where our role lies in his plan for his glory.

Why has President Joe Biden not spoken publicly since it was announced last Wednesday that he had contracted COVID-19? Conspiracy theories range from hospice care to stroke to cover ups. When all truth is personal and subjective, as postmodernists have claimed for decades, we are left with a “post-truth” society in which “your truth” is as valid as “my truth.” If we want to know “the truth,” we must know the One who is the truth by being submitted to his Spirit. If we do, we will make him known.
