Death
The Problem of Depravity–and the Coming Election
Watching the actions of various groups in America recently got me thinking about one of the “basics of life.”
While progressives and anarchists looted and burned many cities blaming racism, police, and social injustice, people of faith came to Washington, D.C. (and all over the nation) to repent and self-identify with the sins of the nation.
One worldview blamed out-siders for their problems. The other blamed themselves.
The “blame others” crowd might prevail and elect Joe Biden our next president if you believe today’s polls.
Why?
It’s a problem of depravity and the coming election.
Eighty-One Days of Friendship
I made a fresh commitment this year that I posted on the wall of my office:

Two Suitcases Packed
I have a friend named Sue who’s dying of cancer. Unless God intervenes in the natural course of this disease, she will no longer be with us in two years.
When I first heard of Sue’s predicament, my stomach went into knots. I decided to call her husband, Dan Secrist—who founded YWAM’s work in Spain many years ago—and ask about Sue.
I wanted to know how to pray, and to let them know I cared.
That’s when I heard about two suitcases that were packed.
