WEEKLY NEWS SUMMARY - JANUARY 28, 2026
In this week's Intersect, read about:
DOJ Issues Subpoenas to Minnesota Leaders in ICE Probe
"The Department of Justice has launched a historic investigation into top Minnesota Democrats, issuing subpoenas over alleged obstruction of federal ICE operations. This action underscores the supremacy of federal law and the urgent need for accountability among leaders who have incited defiance against law enforcement." Read more at Million Voices...
THINK.
- 2 Peter 2:13-17 reminds us that God established governing authorities to uphold justice; ignoring this principle invites chaos and undermines community safety.
- When political leaders encourage obstruction, it erodes the rule of law and threatens the foundation that makes our nation secure for all families. We have a national Constitution, which is our supreme law of the land. No state authority can come against it. Governor Walz's attempt to undermine the Supremacy Clause is a dangerous step.
- As believers, we are called not to passivity but to courageous engagement for justice and order rooted in truth and biblical principles. It is up to us to uphold justice in the public square. If we do not, it will become corrupted.
PRAY.
Jesus, I pray for clarity in the hearts of those who do not know you and currently serve in civil government. Would you turn them to You, to know You and honor You. Help us restore justice and liberty in our land.
ACT.
It is time to act with boldness and conviction. The erosion of truth and justice in our society cannot be ignored, and we must rise as a force for righteousness. Speak out, get involved, and support leaders who uphold biblical values and principles. Together, we can stand against corruption and restore the moral foundation that safeguards our nation’s future.
PA Church Battles Township Over Chapel Rights
"Holy Trinity Ukrainian Catholic Church is taking a stand for religious liberty in Collier Township, PA. After fleeing persecution overseas, this faith community now faces unconstitutional restrictions at home as local officials block their efforts to build a chapel. This legal battle is about more than a building; it’s a line in the sand for every church’s freedom to worship." Read more at Million Voices...
THINK.
- Freedom to worship is a God-given right; the state must not dictate how, when, or whom a church honors in its sacred spaces. Our freedom to worship must be preserved at all costs. The church must take a stand for this inherent right.
- Discrimination against faith communities erodes the moral fabric and spiritual foundation of our nation. The survival of our nation, or any nation for that matter, absolutely depends on the health and expandability of churches across local communities.
- Our faith heritage compels us to defend the oppressed and stand up when government oversteps its bounds. Like Peter, according to Acts 5:29 and obey God rather than men, particularly when man's word goes against God's.
PRAY.
Lord, I pray for the health of communities and churches around the nation. Give them the peace and wisdom they need to overcome any local government blocks that would impede their ability to serve their communities. Give them the resources they need to reach the lost and point people to You, heavenly Father.
ACT.
Contact your local town or city council members today and remind them of the importance of protecting religious freedoms. Organize or join peaceful gatherings to support churches and communities facing unjust restrictions. Don't just hold them accountable in times of peace, but constantly remind them who they serve and that the church's presence must be protected.
Trump Unveils Board of Peace to Reshape World Diplomacy
"President Trump has announced the creation of the “Board of Peace,” a powerful new international body launched at Davos to replace empty talk with real action. Focused on bringing stability to troubled regions like Gaza, this initiative is a call for justice, strength, and hope on the world stage." Read more at Million Voices...
THINK.
- In the Bible, peace is always tethered to righteousness and truth, not to mere absence of conflict. When leaders step up with faith, integrity, and grit, they are answering a holy calling to be peacemakers in a deeply troubled world.
- This initiative will strengthen the U.S.’s leadership position on the global stage by demonstrating a commitment to bold, solution-driven diplomacy. Fostering stability in regions like Gaza reduces the risk of conflicts that could spill over and impact international security, including U.S. allies. Such efforts also create opportunities for economic partnerships and humanitarian collaboration, advancing American interests in trade and aid. Most importantly, it aligns with core U.S. values of justice, peace, and freedom, building goodwill and trust around the world.
- God’s call for rulers echoes through Scripture: advance justice, protect Israel, defend the cause of the fatherless and the widow, and work for the peace and prosperity of all nations (Jeremiah 29:7, Psalm 82:3-4). When national leaders uphold these principles, they stand in alignment with God’s design and bring blessing to their people. Your prayers, your voice, and your vigilance matter—because leadership shaped by faith can unleash a wave of hope in a weary world.
PRAY.
Lord, give our national leaders a heightened level of wisdom and discernment to advocate for our nation and make decisions that will benefit us on the global stage for decades to come. Let this be a moment that restores our nation's respect across the world.
ACT.
Take a moment to express your gratitude and encouragement by writing a heartfelt thank-you letter to the White House. Your words have the power to inspire and affirm the importance of leadership rooted in wisdom and integrity. A simple message of appreciation can remind our leaders that their efforts do not go unnoticed and that their commitment to the nation is making a difference.
Trump’s Bold Moves at Davos: Greenland, Europe, and Ukraine
"At the 2026 World Economic Forum in Davos, President Trump issued a clarion call to European leaders, defended national sovereignty, and made historic progress on issues from Greenland negotiations to the Ukraine conflict. His America First message challenged global complacency and spotlighted the power of principled leadership in turbulent times." Read more at Million Voices...
THINK.
- Sovereignty is not just a political concept; it’s a profound biblical mandate. God entrusts nations and their leaders with the responsibility to safeguard their people, resources, and spiritual heritage (Acts 17:26). True stewardship means refusing to bend to global pressures that erode God-given boundaries and values.
- In an hour when the world’s foundations are being shaken, leaders must rise, undaunted by criticism, to confront global challenges with godly courage. Daniel prayed and acted boldly in Babylon; Esther risked everything for her nation. We need leaders today who will refuse to cower in the face of adversity, recognizing that freedom and truth are always under threat from complacency and compromise.
- Principled leadership, anchored in biblical truth, demands more than rhetoric. It calls leaders to be accountable before God and the people they serve, to defend justice, and to protect the innocent. When a nation’s leaders act with this kind of stewardship and conviction, they become instruments of blessing, not only for their own land, but for the world. This is the mantle we must demand and pray for in every season.
PRAY.
Heavenly Father, we humbly seek Your guidance and strength for our leaders. Grant them wisdom to discern truth, courage to stand for righteousness, and hearts anchored in Your Word. Protect them from deception and empower them to lead with integrity and justice. May their actions bring glory to You and blessings to those they serve. Amen.
ACT.
Pray today. Pray that wise choices are made on our nation's behalf. While no legislation will solve the world-stage issues, having a leader in the White House who puts the nation first is key. President Trump simply needs intercession from the Church.
