live without prayer, then without food day by day. George Whitfield. Let's get started with some espresso shots. The National Guard is blowing into the windy city. For weeks, tensions have been brewing in Chicago over increased immigration enforcement, including some violent clashes between protesters and ICE agents. On Saturday, President Trump authorized federalizing Illinois's National Guard to deploy 300 guardsmen to Chicagoland to deal with the, quote, lawlessness.

Illinois Governor Pritzker criticized the move, saying there is, quote, no need for military troops in the Prairie State. Meanwhile, a federal district judge blocked Trump from deploying 200 guardsmen to Portland, Oregon, until at least October 18th, saying POTUS's claim that unrest in Portland was out of control was, quote, untethered to the facts.

Whether you're critical of your government or think it's unfairly criticized, the command for Christians is to love neighbors and enemies alike.

That requires speaking about others with dignity and respect, even when we feel like they haven't earned it. James 3 says, With the tongue we bless our Lord and Father, and with it we curse people who are made in God's likeness. Blessing and cursing come out of the same mouth. My brothers and sisters, these things should not be this way.

Who among you is wise and understanding? By his good conduct, he should show that his works are done in the gentleness that comes from wisdom. Hamas has accepted President Trump's 20-point plan for Gaza with an asterisk. Israel approved Trump's peace plan last Monday, and on Friday, Hamas announced it also agreed, quote, to the plan's main outlines and principle, but its implementation requires negotiations. Hamas said it will release remaining hostages, but Arab mediators said the group wants to clarify or modify other deal terms,

like Gaza's future and disarmament requirements. President Trump called it a win, urging Israel to stop the bombardment as both sides hash out the details, but warned Hamas to, quote, move quickly or else all bets will be off. Israel said it's moving into a defensive. posture, but the Hamas-run health ministry reported more deaths Saturday. Delegations from all sides will meet for indirect talks in Egypt today. Tomorrow marks two years of war in Gaza.

Christians should be committed to praying for world leaders to be wise and to work towards peaceful resolutions while simultaneously placing our hope in God, not go. government. Let's pray together. Heavenly Father, gracious peacemaker, in the hearts and lands of these embattled countries, work peace, thwart evil plans, and bring to fruition those that lead to flourishing. May these delegations be creative in their problem-solving, wise in their choice of counselors, clear-eyed in their negotiating and compassionate toward the needy, humbly considering the good of others before their own gain and attributing all the glory to you alone. Amen. Week six of college football was anything but quiet. Previously winless UCLA stunned

number seven Penn State, 42 to 37, becoming the first no-win team to topple a topal a top-ten opponent since 1985. Florida, limping in with a one-and-three record, turned the swamp into a nightmare for number nine Texas, sacking Archmanning six times, picking him off twice, holding the longhorns to just 52 rushing yards, and giving the gators the surprise W, 29 to 21.
