Preach the Word – Preaching to Current Culture
Themes in Current Homiletical TheoryPreaching to Current CultureTimothy Keller passed away in May 2023 after battling cancer. Whatever one makes of his theology and ministry, there is no denying that Keller, preaching from his pulpit in the heart of Manhattan, had this way of preaching to our current culture unlike anyone of our generation. Basic Features of Preaching to Current CultureTo go back to the genre of prophetic preaching, preaching that dares to wade into the most pressing issues of its day inevitably touches on what is perceived to be politics. I need to warn you: preaching to current culture is like playing with fire. 4 Timothy Keller, Preaching: Communicating Faith in an Age of Skepticism (New York: Viking, 2015), 133-155.

Policy memo: The U.S. Refugee Program serves American interests at home and abroad
The 1980 Refugee Act grants the President the authority, in consultation with Congress, to establish refugee resettlement priorities and numerical targets based on geographic regions. During his term, President Trump slashed refugee resettlement numbers to historic lows, forcing many refugee assistance organizations to lay off staff and close offices. While the Biden administration has gradually raised the numbers for refugee resettlement, bipartisan support for the program remains elusive. Attracting new workers through programs such as refugee resettlement can serve as a fiscal boon to these vital services. These isolationist tendencies in U.S. foreign policy not only leave millions in peril but also threaten America’s standing as a global leader.

10 Million Pounds of Meat & Poultry Recalled From Retailers in Latest Listeria Outbreak
Share LinkedIn Pin EmailMel Melcon/Los Angeles Times/TNSMeat producer BrucePac is recalling nearly 10 million pounds of meat and poultry products sold at Trader Joe’s, Target, Kroger, and other retailers because they might be contaminated with listeria. The US Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service announced the sweeping recall last week. It includes hundreds of ready-to-eat items that were produced from June 19 to October 8 and distributed to restaurants, grocery stores, and other businesses around the country. The outbreak was discovered after government inspectors performed routine testing of products containing poultry produced by BrucePac and found them to be positive for listeria. There have been no confirmed reports of people becoming sick from consuming the products, which should be thrown away or returned to the place of purchase.

In a close election, here are 3 legal disputes that could reach the Supreme Court
In a close election, here are 3 legal disputes that could reach the Supreme CourtDavid G. Savage | (TNS) Los Angeles TimesWASHINGTON — In a nail-biter election Nov. 5, expect the losing side to challenge the results in court. After former President Donald Trump’s 2020 defeat, his supporters filed numerous of lawsuits nationwide raising questions about ballots, counting and deadlines. Two weeks ago, the Pennsylvania Supreme Court refused to rule on mail-ballot errors, leaving the state’s 67 counties to decide on how to proceed. When the Republicans appealed the three-day extension for counting ballots, the Supreme Court upheld the state decision on a 4-4 tie vote. The Trump campaign could try to revive the issue in a long-shot appeal to the conservative Supreme Court if a few thousand votes are crucial in Nevada.
