Evangelism
It’s Not About Trump. It’s About Jesus
Last night’s State of the Union message vividly portrayed America’s cultural divide–a battle of worldviews.
The Milano Cortina Olympics showcased the same cultural chasm with some great displays of faith and patriotism as well as high-profile secular “statements” and national disdain.
And decision day with Iran is quickly approaching with the world divided on what to do.
What do we make of the divisions in our nation and world and how should we pray?
The 21st Century Satanic Partnership
When I wrote Leadership for the 21st Century in 1989 (which predicted the fall of the Iron Curtain before it happened), I included a chapter on competing worldviews we might face in the new millennium. I felt then that biblical faith (Christ’s Kingdom advance in the nations) would be challenged strongly by either atheism in all its forms or Islam.

The Gen Z Revival
Summer time for the Church (Northern Hemisphere) highlights camps & Vacation Bible Schools where millions of young people come to faith and missions teams go forth to share the Good News.
Our church commissioned an outreach team yesterday of excited Gen Zers (those born 1997 to 2012). I was privileged to participate in summer missions in 40 out of 46 years between 1970 and 2016. In 2025, maybe two million are sharing their faith globally this summer.
In the past three weeks, major outreaches by two U.S. evangelists brought thousands of youth to Christ.
The Gen Z Revival is underway.
