What the Ten Plagues Teach Us About God | Weekend Torah Teaching

In this week's Torah teaching, Dennis Prager examines the story of the Ten Plagues in the Book of Exodus and explains what these events were meant to teach the Egyptians, the Israelites, and the world. While the plagues helped secure the Israelites' freedom from slavery, Dennis argues that their deeper purpose was to make clear that God is the Creator, that He rules over nature, and that there is no power greater than Him. As Dennis explores the Torah's account of the plagues, he discusses the conflict between God and the false gods of Egypt, the relationship between divine justice and human responsibility, and why the Torah rejects nature as the ultimate guide to morality. He also examines a striking lesson from Moses, who immediately cries out to God to end the plague of frogs, demonstrating compassion for the Egyptians even as their nation suffers for its wrongdoing. What do the Ten Plagues reveal about God's nature and purpose? Why does the Torah repeatedly emphasize that the world must know that God is God? And what can Moses' compassion teach us about resisting hatred toward entire groups of people? Dennis explores these questions in a deeper look at the Exodus story and the enduring lessons of the Torah.

A Prayer for Peace When Life Feels Uncertain

A doctor’s visit that ends with “I’m not exactly sure what this is” can set the mind spinning in seconds. Is it serious? Is it treatable? How much time is there? What will be missed? Sitting alone in a car afterward, it is easy to run through scenario after scenario until the worst possible conclusion feels certain, even when part of you knows the thinking is irrational. Isaiah 26:3 offers a different place to set the mind: God keeps in perfect peace those whose minds are stayed on Him, because they trust in Him. Isaiah spoke those words to a people who were about to face captivity, which means this peace is not reserved for calm circumstances. It is peace for chaotic ones. It does not come from the world’s reassurances or from having all the answers. It comes from a mind fixed on a faithful God who keeps His promises and is working all things for the good of those who love Him. Sometimes the first step is simply talking to someone who will ask the question we forgot to ask ourselves: have you talked to God about this? Prayer does not guarantee the test results we want, but it moves our thoughts from what might happen to the One who holds what does happen. Life will keep bringing things that threaten our peace, and the invitation each time is the same: fix your thoughts on the Lord, because you can trust Him. Bible Verse “You keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on you, because he trusts in you.”— Isaiah 26:3, ESV Ponder Today Anxious thoughts can spiral quickly, and that is human. Running through worst-case scenarios does not mean your faith is weak. It means it is time to bring those thoughts to God. Talk to God before, and not only after, you talk to everyone else. It is easy to process a hard situation with people and forget to pray about it. Prayer is where perfect peace begins. Perfect peace comes from a mind fixed on the Lord. Isaiah spoke these words to people facing exile, so this peace is available in the middle of uncertainty, not just after it passes. A trusted friend who points you to God is a gift. Sometimes we need someone to hold our hand, pray with us, and gently ask the question we missed. Cling to Scripture before the next storm arrives. Another threat to our peace will come along. Storing up promises like Isaiah 26:3 and Romans 8:28 prepares us to stay steadfast when it does. A Prayer for You Today Heavenly Father, I am grateful that You invite Your children to commune with You through prayer. May I always cry out to You first, sharing every part of my life, including my fears, anxieties, excitement, and frustrations, because You desire to hear it all. Lord, help me keep my thoughts firmly fixed on You. In a world full of distractions, let me seek You by meditating on Your Word, fellowshiping with other believers, and remaining in constant contact through prayer. I love You, Lord, and I fully trust You. You are faithful, and You keep Your promises yesterday, today, and for all eternity. In Jesus’ name, Amen. Want More?

Greg Laurie on Doom Scrolling, the Antichrist, and the Peace Treaty That Deceives the World

Are we living in the last days? A recent study found that 40% of Americans believe we are—and even non-believers sense something is shifting. In this episode, Greg Laurie opens Luke 21 to look at what Jesus actually said about the end times. Rather than freaking out or doom scrolling, Jesus gave a different instruction: look up. What Greg covers:• Why 25% of the Bible is prophetic—and why that matters now• The timeline: the rapture, the rise of the Antichrist, the Great Tribulation, Armageddon, and the Second Coming• Israel's role in end-times events and why 1948 set the prophetic clock ticking• The difference between personal tribulation and the Great Tribulation• How to live right now: watch and pray, not party or panic• Why Bible prophecy should make us evangelistic, not argumentative Greg also shares how understanding what's ahead brings hope in a hopeless world, comfort to those grieving, and clarity when life stops making sense. If you've never trusted Christ, stay to the end—Greg walks through how to be ready.Subscribe for new episodes of the Greg Laurie Show every week.

A Prayer to Love Those Who Are Hard to Love

A sharp greeting at the church door, a hard week no one else knows about, and an invitation to be pulled into someone else’s conflict can leave a person exhausted and tempted to avoid the very people who frustrate them most. Pulling away can feel like self-protection, but God often asks for something more. Conviction has a way of arriving right after we have dodged the people we find difficult. Romans 12:9-10 calls for love that is sincere, devoted, and willing to honor others above ourselves. First Corinthians 13 adds that love is patient and kind, even when we feel we have been wronged. This is the same patience and grace Christ extends to us every day, so withholding it from our spiritual brothers and sisters does not make sense. First John 4:20 makes the stakes clear: we cannot claim to love the God we have not seen while holding hatred toward the brother we have. Loving difficult people is not a one-time victory. It is ongoing work, and it requires a good deal of dying to self. As D.L. Moody put it, God sends no one away empty except those who are full of themselves. The prayer that opens the door is to be emptied, so that God can fill us with more of Himself and give us eyes to see hard-to-love people the way He does. Bible Verse “Love must be sincere. Hate what is evil; cling to what is good. Be devoted to one another in love. Honor one another above yourselves.”— Romans 12:9-10, NKJV Ponder Today Avoiding difficult people is a common response, but love asks for more. Conviction often follows when we pull away from those who frustrate us. Extend the patience and grace Christ extends to you. He forgives and helps us every day, so we have no grounds to withhold the same from others. Love for God and love for others are connected. First John 4:20 reminds us that we cannot love God while hating the people He has placed around us. Loving well is ongoing work. It is not a struggle you finish. It is a daily practice of dying to self. Ask God to empty you. When we decrease, He increases, and we begin to see hard-to-love people as His children, complete and whole. A Prayer for You Today Dear Heavenly Father, please forgive me for being impatient and unloving toward others when You are patient and loving toward me. I have said the wrong thing at the wrong time, and I fail every day, yet You continue to reach down and help me. You never hold my sins against me. Lord, empty us so that You can fill us with more of You. Help us decrease so that You can increase. Help us to see those who are hard for us to love through Your eyes, as Your children, complete and whole. Give us eyes to see and hearts to obey. We love You. We need You. Thank You for giving us everything we need for life and godliness. Amen. Want More?

Divorce and Children: What Really Matters? | The Happiness Hour

Should parents stay married for the sake of their children? On this episode of the Happiness Hour, Dennis Prager takes on a sensitive and often misunderstood subject: the effects of divorce on children. Challenging the conventional wisdom that divorce inevitably leads to lasting unhappiness, Dennis argues that the reality is more complicated than many people believe. Dennis discusses research on children of divorced parents and questions whether these studies adequately account for the circumstances children would have experienced if their parents had stayed together. He emphasizes that while a happy, loving, intact family is the ideal, remaining in an unhappy marriage is not always the best choice for children. Taking calls from listeners with different experiences, Dennis explores what happens when divorced parents maintain a cooperative relationship, why a parent's continued involvement in a child's life matters, and how speaking negatively about an ex-spouse can cause lasting harm. He also discusses the importance of helping children face difficult realities without making them feel doomed by their family circumstances. Can children thrive after divorce? Is staying together always better than separating? And how can parents protect their children's happiness when a marriage ends? Dennis offers his perspective in a thoughtful, sometimes contentious discussion about marriage, divorce, parenting, and the dangers of believing that difficult circumstances must determine our future.

Should Faith Influence the Way We Vote? | A Midterm Reflection

In the wake of the 2026 midterm elections, we're revisiting a lecture Dennis Prager delivered in 2007, exploring the role of religion, faith, and traditional values in American politics. At the time, the 2008 presidential race was beginning to take shape, and religion had become a major topic in the campaign. Candidates such as Mitt Romney, whose Mormon faith drew national attention, and Mike Huckabee, a former Baptist minister, brought questions about personal faith and public leadership to the forefront of the political conversation. Voters and commentators were debating how much a candidate's religious beliefs should matter in choosing a president. Against that backdrop, Dennis makes the case that religious Americans have just as much right as secular Americans to bring their beliefs and values into the public square. He examines America's Judeo-Christian foundations, the meaning of the separation of church and state, the relationship between Jews and Christians, and why voters should judge political candidates by their values and integrity rather than simply by their religious identity. Nearly two decades later, Dennis's questions about faith, freedom, and the values that shape our nation remain relevant: What role should religion play in American public life, and what principles should guide the leaders we elect?
