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.
What I Learned From the Paris Olympics
Last week I sent our Faith International University students a discipleship email on the importance of curiosity in our lives. Jesus called it the mentality of “asking, seeking, and knocking” (Matthew 7:7) in order to gain wisdom.
When we stop learning, we stop living. When we cease to grow, we really begin to die.
Here’s what I learned recently from watching the Paris Olympics.
Praying for a Paris Pentecost
There is great leadership uncertainty in America due to the attempted assassination of President Trump, the VP pick of J.D. Vance, President Biden not seeking re-election, and the Kamala Harris stepping up.
But this week the global community will focus on the 2024 Paris Olympics which begin Friday, July 26. The great athletes and gold medals will excite us. But the far greater story will be people coming to Jesus because of the Games.
I want you to pray passionately for a Paris Pentecost.
