My View of the World 2026
In the first blog of each new year, I like to share a personal perspective on what is happening in the world. I do this as one who reads, watches, prays, and senses a call to share what I “see.”
I want all of us to be modern-day sons of Issachar who “understand the times with a knowledge of what God’s people should do” (1 Chronicles 12:32).
Informed perspective gives us both the wisdom to act and peace to live by.
Here is my view of the world 2026. I welcome your comments.
What I Learned from Martin Luther (Again)
I was born and raised a Lutheran. During confirmation classes, I laughed wildly at Martin Luther being tried by a “Diet of Worms.” (“Diet” meant “Council” and “Worms” was the city where the gathering took place.)
You get the drift of my teenage stupidity.
Five years hence, I learned two invaluable things from the German Reformer that I missed in confirmation class. Now fifty years later, I’m rediscovering the same two pillars of truth.

Impeachment: This Present Darkness
This week the U.S. House of Representatives will likely vote to impeach the 45th president of the United States on bogus charges and no crimes–a horrible misuse of our Constitution.
Impeachment is not a legislative process–it is a political one. Everything we hate about politics will be on display by the Democratic Party on Thursday, December 19.
It will be one of the worst days in the history of our glorious republic.
Over the next two weeks I want to talk about the two greatest realities in human life. One is agonizingly negative–the ugliness of sin. The other is gloriously positive–the magnificence of God’s love.
Let’s discuss the bad news first.
