Summary
During Sunday’s apparent assassination attempt against Donald Trump, the suspected gunman hid near Mr. Trump’s golf course for roughly twelve hours before a Secret Service agent spotted him and opened fire. Pope Francis recently stated that religions are “like different languages in order to arrive at God.” Today we discuss why faith in Jesus is essential for salvation and how to choose courage to share the gospel out of compassion for the lost.

| 0:00.0 | Good day. It's Tuesday, September the 17th, 2024. Welcome to the Daily Article podcast. I'm Chris Elkins with the Denison Forum, narrating today's daily article written by Dr. Jim Denison. |
| 0:14.7 | We are learning more about Sunday's apparent assassination attempt against Donald Trump. The suspected gunman hid near Mr. Trump's |
| 0:22.8 | golf course for roughly 12 hours before a secret service agent spotted him and opened fire. |
| 0:29.2 | He had a long history of criminal convictions that would have barred him from owning a gun. |
| 0:34.5 | His firearms serial number was wiped out, making it difficult for law enforcement |
| 0:39.5 | to determine how he acquired the weapon. The license plate on the SUV he was driving was registered |
| 0:45.7 | to a truck that had been reported stolen. Here's reporting I haven't seen in the news, |
| 0:51.3 | the lack of reporting in the news that the event happened. I was watching |
| 0:55.3 | football at the time and don't remember on-screen alerts, much less reporters breaking into |
| 1:00.4 | the telecast. When Dr. Mark Terman and I were discussing this fact, he wondered if we had become |

| 1:24.8 | If we do, we will no longer respond to it biblically and redemptively. |
| 1:29.5 | Our salt will lose its taste and thus its transforming effect on our culture with reference to |
| 1:35.6 | Matthew 5 verse 13. Consider a case and point with eternal consequences. |
| 1:41.2 | Pope Francis was recently speaking to an inter-religious group of young people in |
| 1:45.3 | Singapore, where he left his prepared remarks to offer some general reflections about religion. |
| 1:51.2 | In his extemporaneous comments, he stated, religions are like different languages in order |
| 1:57.1 | to arrive at God, but God is God for all. Since God is God for all, then we are all children of God. |
| 2:04.6 | He then added, |
