Delta Flight 104, with 272 passengers and 14 crew, had just departed São Paulo/Guarulhos International Airport on Sunday when flames shot out from its left engine. Passengers screamed for the pilots to “turn around” the jet. They immediately declared an emergency, shut down the affected engine, and circled back to the airport, landing safely shortly after departure. Video from inside the cabin shows passengers erupting into applause and cheers when the aircraft came to a stop. If you could speak to the pilots, what would you say to them today? A year from today? On this Good Friday, we discuss how God is both love and holy for paying our debts and why the price of our salvation was death in the first place.

Recent studies show that eighty million Americans believe a spiritual revival is coming to our nation.

The US Supreme Court ruled Tuesday that Colorado’s ban on LGBTQ “conversion therapy” for young people infringes on the free speech rights of a Christian counselor. Their ruling reversed a lower court’s decision that had upheld the law. However, the news is not all positive on the religious liberty front. But if you’re not a Christian counselor who seeks to share biblical truth with your clients or an evangelical living in the Middle East, Finland, or India, such threats may seem too distant to be personal. Here’s why they’re not, and why this day in Holy Week is especially significant for our souls.
