Revival
LA Wild Fires: Helping Hands & Pointing Fingers
Our hearts and prayers go out to Southern California due to the wildfires devastation.
We have two sons living in LA–one in West Hollywood who narrowly escaped the flames, and the other in Valley Village. We also have hundreds of friends and YWAMers living and serving there–so the devastation is close to home.
Our initial response should be “helping hands” in prayer, giving, and rebuilding. Our second must be “pointing fingers” at those who exacerbated the tragedy so future natural disasters can be mitigated.
Football Faith
As we begin a New Year, it’s tempting to zero in on the immense geo-political movements in our world like the coming inauguration of President Trump (for the second time), the recent resignation of Canadian president Justin Trudeau (and Canada jokingly becoming our 51st state), the fall of Syria, or the quagmire and suffering in Ukraine.
We shall prayerfully analyze all these in 2025 for prayer and action.
But–this first week in January–how about–FOOTBALL.
As one writer puts it, something incredible is happening.
Giving Thanks for an American Awakening
Though Christmas is upon us, I’m still full of “Thanksgiving” for an American awakening taking place across our land.
I know Kamala Harris received 74 million votes in the past election. The nation is divided. And most elections don’t portend that revival is taking place.
But many thoughtful voices believe a cultural turning is happening in the United States that could become a full-blown awakening (as happened in the 18th and 19th centuries).
Be encouraged–and continue to pray.
