My View of the World–2017
Happy New Year to you all, in the year of our Lord 2017.
Scientists/theologians now speculate that Jesus Christ was born sometime between 4-6 BC. That means it’s actually been 2021-23 years since His incarnation, and roughly 1988-91 years since Jesus’ death and resurrection changed the world (the focus of my previous blogs).

I hope it encourages you.
I usually spend significant time in December praying over the coming year. Long ago I noticed a pattern of “seven years” in my work and ministry. I view those periods as chapters in God’s plan for my life.

Fake News & Good News
There’s been a lot of soul-searching the past three weeks by pollsters, political pundits, and the mainstream media as to why Donald Trump won the 2016 presidential race.
To be honest, there’s also been a lot of protesting and sour grapes. Now, George Soros is funding an attempt to overturn the election results by demanding recounts in some of the closely contested states. I predict this charade will go nowhere.
But the most interesting “spin” to me on why secular progressivism was smashed by Heartland America at the ballot box this year is the concept of “fake news.”
Really?
Let’s take a look at fake news and good news.
Here’s the supposed problem as articulated by the Huffington Post:
