Welcome to The Light, where we pause together in the quiet between the noise.
In the currents of theological debate, Wayne Grudem has offered a sweeping argument in the Christian Post — weaving together biblical text and historical claim to assert that Israel holds a divinely sanctioned right to its land, and further, that the recent military campaign against Iran carries the weight of something he calls divine justice. It is a bold framing, and one that will stir many hearts in different directions.
Grudem has also turned his attention to the political season, publishing a series of policy backgrounders drawn from scripture, inviting voters of both parties to consider what he sees as timeless biblical truths beneath the noise of partisan debate. Whether one shares his interpretive lens or not, the question he raises — how does faith speak into civic life — remains one of the oldest and most alive questions we carry.
And in quieter register, a reflection from Crosswalk draws us back to the ancient story of David and Goliath — not as triumph, but as invitation. The giants we face, it suggests, are not measured by their height, but by where we place our trust. Three small stones. One open hand. A reminder that courage often begins before the outcome is known.
That is this hour's reflection. Carry the light gently.
