I hope Trump wins but Trump is not my hope. The ultimate hope for any nation or people is the gospel of Jesus Christ. Twenty-six years ago, I wrote an article for People of Destiny Magazine titled The Centrality of the Gospel. It still holds true - the gospel trumps all.

Like Paul the apostle told the Athenians, “In the past God overlooked such ignorance, but now he commands all people everywhere to repent. For he has set a day when he will judge the world with justice by the man he has appointed. He has given proof of this to all men by raising him [Jesus] from the dead.” (Acts 17:30-31).

Please Help
I recently wrote an update on our personal circumstances. Would you please read it here and consider a gift or donation? The work I do is not fun or easy but it is necessary. In the coming weeks and months, I’ll be covering some stories of national importance. I need your help to make that possible. Please keep me in your prayers. Thank you.
