This is the Daily Article podcast for Thursday, January 6th, 2022.

I'm Chris Elkins with the Denison Forum, narrating today's article written by Dr. Jim Denison.

The U.S. Capitol is the focus of global attention today.

Police riot shields have been placed near doorways.

Metal detectors stand outside the House of Representatives chamber. Capital police officers are out in force in larger numbers and with heavier equipment than before.

Fencing is in place in some locations. All of this is in preparation for the first anniversary of the January 6th assault on the Capitol. A year ago, I wrote a daily

article special edition as the crisis was unfolding titled Chaos in Washington.

Millions of us watched on television as lawmakers were evacuated from House and Senate Chambers.

Fox News's Chad Pergroom stated,

This is the most significant breach of an American government institution since the British

burned the capital after the Battle of Bladenburg

on August 24, 1814. Former President George W. Bush called the attack a sickening and heartbreaking

sight. The next day, I asked our readers to join me in praying for our leaders and people to seek

reconciliation and peace, for Christians to respond with truth and grace, and for more Christians

to be engaged in our democracy. You and I need to continue offering such intercession as much

today as we did a year ago.

And we urgently need to renew our commitment to the most transformational yet counter-cultural

way we can answer our prayers for this nation.

The ultimate answer to every problem humans face is found in a saving relationship

with Jesus Christ. He alone can forgive our sins, empower us to truly forgive others, and make

us the new creation we must become to experience abundant life in this fallen world.

Satan knows this as well as we do.
