Show Notes

Everyone in the Christian community seems to be talking about Asbury. A small Christian college in the sleepy little town of Wilmore, Kentucky.  With a student body of less than 2k, over 50k folks from all over the world have been taking in the experience of revival over the last two weeks. Overwhelmed by the crowds, today is the last full day the campus will be supporting the event and Fox News, among others is taking in the scene.

The Last Days

As I watch the news (way too much), and report on it every night, I can’t take my mind off the End Times. It is an obsession and likely not a healthy one. God makes it clear we are not to know the day or the hour of Christ's return. Even Jesus, the man, was not given the exact details. 

I look at Russia and China coming together, nuclear saber rattling, AI and ChatGPT, EMP’s, climate change, the earthquake in Turkey, escalating war in Ukraine, divisiveness at home, and the deterioration of American influence abroad, all through the lens of…. What is God doing and when will He be finished?

When a rare, positive story like Asbury comes along, again with my obsession, I just can’t get past the thought that God is closing things down, and we, as Christians, need to be about His work with more intensity than at any other point in history.
