Worldview
Before I Leave This Earth
Two men I admire died recently and neither left this earth on their own terms. Floyd McClung, Jr. was a gentle giant who taught our mission to love the unlovely and personally helped me with a book on leadership. Dave Frederick was a long-time friend who set a marvelous example of caring for at-risk kids and the homeless.
Floyd contracted a disease in Africa that left him unable to communicate and care for himself the last five years of his life. Dave died of hereditary cancer that took the life of his dad at forty-eight, and him, after a lengthy battle, at sixty-six.
Neither ended his life on earth as desired. Few people do–and those who schedule it may have a problem in eternity. So, how should we live our final days if given the chance to chart it?
Here are my thoughts before I leave this earth.
My View of the World 2021
I have written over 500 blogs since 2008. Most years I use the first week to share “My View of the World” to stimulate both your thinking and actions.
This piece may be the most important one I have ever written.
I believe the United States and the Western World have reached a possible tipping point of which there could be no return. Two negative and positive scenarios stare us in the face.
But, let not your heart be troubled (John 14:1). God is guiding history.
Here is my view of the world in 2021.
Voting for Liberty or Tyranny
The most important election in American history is three weeks from today. I do not use hyperbole to emphasize the consequential choice before us.
For at least a generation and especially the first two decades of the 21st century, the United States of America has been losing its traditional worldview and the freedoms that it brings to a secular progressive insurgence of paganism.
Our historic Judeo-Christian worldview created the freest and most prosperous nation in world history. The new worldview will take us down the path to tyranny (and destruction) like many other nations.
This election is not about personalities.
You are voting for liberty or tyranny.
