COP30​

​

[/td]​

[td]

The United Nations’ annual climate summit ended with a compromise in overtime on Saturday.​

[/td]​

[td]

World leaders from nearly 200 countries gathered for COP30 on the outskirts of the Amazon in Brazil to discuss “the efforts needed to limit the global temperature.” No official U.S. delegation was sent—President Trump has called climate change a “hoax,” and the White House warned that “vague climate goals” put America at an economic and security disadvantage.​

[/td]​

[td]

After 13 days of negotiations, delegates’ final agreement tripled funds to help vulnerable countries adapt to climate change, but pressure from oil-rich Arab nations kept out any mention of fossil fuels. ​

[/td]​

[td]

Amid disappointment from some world leaders, Brazil promised to create its own “roadmap” for ditching fossil fuels and reversing deforestation.​

CHOOSE HUMILITY
Our world is full of panic and anger surrounding climate change. In the midst of the noise, remember your calling: good stewardship of God’s creation and gracious conversation with everyone—even those who passionately disagree with you about the world’s way forward.​

“My dear brothers and sisters, understand this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to anger, for human anger does not accomplish God’s righteousness.”

Thrown Out​

​

[/td]​

[td]

The cases against two Trump critics have been dismissed. ​

[/td]​

[td]

A federal judge threw out the criminal indictments of former FBI Director James Comey and New York Attorney General Letitia James (D), ruling that interim U.S. Attorney Lindsey Halligan—who brought both cases—was unlawfully appointed.​

[/td]​

[td]

The judge ruled AG Pam Bondi’s 120-day interim-naming authority had lapsed when she appointed Halligan—President Trump’s former personal attorney. The White House maintains that Halligan “was legally appointed.” The DOJ is expected to appeal. ​

[/td]​

[td]

Because the dismissals were without prejudice, the DOJ could refile—but Comey is largely shielded by a five-year statute of limitations, which expired in September. Comey said he expects Trump to “come after me again,” but that he’s innocent and “not afraid.” ​

[/td]​

[td]

Both Comey and James pleaded not guilty, saying the cases were politically motivated.​

ABOVE ALL, LOVE
In this divisive political climate, followers of Christ have an opportunity to show that our ultimate allegiance is to Him. Imitating our just and merciful Father, root for justice while retaining love for all parties – both the accused and the accusers – desiring restoration, not revenge. ​

And all the angels were standing around the throne and around the elders and the four living creatures, and they fell on their faces before the throne and worshiped God, saying,

"Amen! Blessing and glory and wisdom and thanksgiving and honor and power and might be to our God forever and ever! Amen."

Revelation 7:11-13 ESV

For now we live, if you are standing fast in the Lord.




For what thanksgiving can we return to God for you, for all the joy that we feel for your sake before our God, 10 as we pray most earnestly night and day that we may see you face to face and supply what is lacking in your faith?

1 Thessalonians 3:8-10 ESV
