Summary
Ten people were hit by gunfire and another thirteen injured after a man set off smoke grenades and fired a handgun in a crowded Brooklyn subway train yesterday. In The Daily Article for April 13, 2022, Dr. Jim Denison considers this news story and many others while also discussing "Silent Wednesday," the day during Easter week in which the Bible records no activities by Jesus. Citing John Mark Comer's book The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry, Dr. Denison also asks if Christians should follow Jesus' example to lead a quiet life.
