Dr. Jim Denison shares his perspectives on the historic, spiritual and geopolitical forces behind the ongoing Iran conflict. Most importantly, he shared how Christians can biblically respond even from half-way across the world.

SPECIAL EDITION DAILY ARTICLE by Dr. Jim Denison: According to Israeli intelligence, Ali Khamenei, Iran’s supreme leader, has been found dead after the US and Israel carried out air strikes early this morning on Tehran. The ayatollah’s body has reportedly been pulled from rubble left by the strikes. 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.” @JimDenison explains the historical significance of today’s developments, why the U.S. attacked Iran now and four biblical ways Christians should pray in response to this historic day.

How do you discern God’s will? @JimDenison offers his thoughts in this mailbag episode of the Faith & Clarity podcast.

This morning I joined my friend, Dr. Mark Turman, on the Faith & Clarity Podcast for an impromptu conversation about Charlie Kirk's assassination and how should Christians respond in times of grief and fear. I hope you find this discussion insightful. denisonforum.org/podcasts/faith…

Please join me in praying for Charlie Kirk's wife and two small children, asking God’s grace and peace for them in their unspeakable loss and grief. denisonforum.org/current-events…

From Denison Forum founder @JimDenison: Today’s tragic news highlights the courage required for those willing to engage in public service. This includes politics, media, church leadership, and any other venue by which someone is exposed to the public. Anything someone says or does that angers someone else puts them at potential risk. It will always be easier and safer in the moment for us to retreat from our convictions and avoid conflict however we can. While taking appropriate precautions and personal care is obviously wise, however, living in fear is not truly living. As the saying goes, “Ships are safest in the harbor, but that’s not what ships are for.” The coward who shot Charlie Kirk modeled all that is wrong with a culture that abandons objective truth and consensual morality for a zero-sum battle that cancels and silences disagreement. Kirk, by contrast, will be remembered not only for his passionate commitment to his political and cultural beliefs but also for his sincere desire to reach out to those who disagreed with him, seeking to forge a better future for the common good. He died doing what he loved to do—debating and advancing issues that matter to the nation he sought to serve. Now we pray for his wife and two small children, asking God’s grace and peace for them in their unspeakable loss and grief. We pray for the shooter to be apprehended before further violence is committed. We pray for those in the public eye, that they would have the courage of their convictions and the protection of civil society. And we pray for Christians to be salt and light in a decaying and darkened culture desperate for both. “Speaking the truth in love” (Ephesians 4:15) has never been more dangerous, or more needed, than today.

Why does God allow disasters like the Texas Hill Country floods? In this special episode of The Denison Forum Podcast, Dr. Jim Denison joins Dr. Mark Turman to address the devastating Texas floods and the hard to answer faith questions in the midst of tragedy.

Dick Eastland and his wife have owned Camp Mystic since 1974 and have been with me to Israel twice. When the flood hit, he died trying to save some of the children. A camp counselor said Dick was among the “most selfless men in the whole world. denisonforum.org/daily-article/…

Camp Mystic director Dick Eastland was one of the most loving, gracious people I know. I was grateful to join @CBNNews this morning to talk about my friend and to tackle the question we're all asking...why would a good/loving God allow this to happen? youtube.com/watch?v=NnxWCV…

Some years ago, I was invited to teach a Bible conference at a church in Missouri. One day I happened to be outside when two B-2 Spirit bombers were returning to the nearby Whiteman Air Force Base after a test run. They are unlike any airplane I have ever seen—their “flying wing” design makes them seem to glide in the air despite their massive size. They are so quiet that you cannot hear them until they have passed overhead. They project power viscerally as well as militarily. Saturday night, that power was on full display when the US employed them to stage attacks on nuclear development sites in Iran. More: denisonforum.org/daily-article/…

I remember being in a Tel Aviv hotel with a tour group when hostilities with Hamas in Gaza suddenly broke out. Our guides had to show us the location of the bomb shelters built into the foundation of the hotel (most Israeli hotels and public buildings have them). They explained how we were to access them and described the warning sirens that would alert us to do so. Fortunately, the night passed without incident, and the event became only a memory. What was a possibility for us is now a reality for millions of Israelis today. denisonforum.org/daily-article/…

DEVELOPING: Israel continues to perform airstrikes on Iran. But what lead to this significant escalation? And why does Iran even want nuclear weapons? More in @JimDenison's Special Edition Daily Article: bit.ly/4eb0xKk
