Today the College of Cardinals of the Roman Catholic Church begins the conclave to elect a new pope. While the results matter a great deal to Catholics, they also matter for Protestants and the Orthodox. Despite the significant and irreconcilable doctrinal differences—on the role of Mary, the sacraments, Scripture, salvation, and the fundamental nature of the Church—all Christians should pray for God to intervene in who replaces Francis as pope.

On this day (April 4) in 1945, the last in a famous series of talks by C.S. Lewis was broadcast across the BBC. These talks would become the substance of Mere Christianity, a book often listed as the most influential Christian book of the twentieth century. Lewis was a layman who was trained in philosophy, logic, and literature, not theology. How did he manage to produce such a profound and important work on the Christian faith?

Wilberforce believed that the abolition of the slave trade was one of “the great objects” set before him by God. He also knew there was no guarantee of success. Still, despite failure year after year, he persevered. Thus, his public life also epitomized another phrase, one which Chuck Colson kept on a sign on his desk: “Faithfulness, not success.” In 1787, British abolitionist Thomas Clarkson enlisted a young parliamentarian named William Wilberforce into the cause.

Last month, in an interview with Bari Weiss, venture capitalist and longevity researcher Bryan Johnson discussed "how not to die." While Johnson's theories on indefinite life extension are interesting, it was his comments about artificial intelligence that were more striking,"I think the irony is that we told stories of God creating us, and I think the reality is we are creating God ... in the form of superintelligence," he said. "If you ask yourself, 'What have we imagined God to be?

PTL!! An answer to prayer! Glory to God in the highest! New Mexico is in dire need of a revival, repentance and a change of behavior! The state needs JESUS! I pray everyday for the killing of God’s babies stop here! Will you pray with me that Unite US comes to New Mexico. I have been attempting to get an outside group to come to New Mexico and hold a revival, but I am empty handed at this point.

In a crowd of 800, many responded to the Gospel, including most of the team.

The Oscar winner for Best Lead Actress this year was Mikey Madison for her role in Anora. After offering the expected thanks to family, friends, and the film’s production crew, she thanked “sex workers” for inspiring the film, which told the story of a young exotic dancer and occasional prostitute caught up in a dysfunctional romance with a Russian oligarch. I . . . want to again recognize and honor the sex worker community. I will continue to support and be an ally.

In 1787, British abolitionist Thomas Clarkson enlisted a young parliamentarian named William Wilberforce into the cause. After his conversion to Christ three years earlier, Wilberforce had become friends with John Newton, a former slave trader turned pastor and abolitionist. Convinced of the evils of slavery, Wilberforce agreed to fight it in Parliament. Illness kept Wilberforce from introducing his anti-slavery bills until 1789.
