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.
My View of the World 2025
A new calendar year is upon us, the “Year of our Lord 2025.”
My wife reminded me this morning that it’s hard to believe “Y2K” was 25 years ago. I told her that was because of “OA” (Old Age) with the clock spinning faster than when we were young.
I like to begin each year with my view of the world–what God is doing–and how we can be a part of it. Our lives are never bigger than our vision. What do you see in 2025 for the planet of “God’s visitation” (Earth). What is God up to and how can we join his plans?
Here are my thoughts. I’d love to hear yours.
