Barbara Bradley Hagerty, a New York Times best-selling author, says that Christians need to operate on two levels: the human and the spiritual. Just as bifocal lenses allow us to see the “far away” and the “up close”, so must we see things spiritually and humanly at the same time. Spiritual perception—seeing human circumstances from God’s point of view—helps a Christian get past his physical circumstances by knowing that God is sovereign. Are you wearing your bifocals?

Dr. Art Lindsley argues that the greatest crisis facing both culture and the church is the abandonment of absolute truth, warning that relativism erodes our ability to recognize good, evil, and even meaning itself. He notes, “moral relativity is the enemy we have to overcome before we tackle atheism,” a reminder that without shared standards, even our deepest convictions lose their foundation.

In 1734, Jonathan Edwards sparked a powerful religious revival in Northampton by preaching the necessity of personal conversion and justification by faith, igniting what became known as the Great Awakening across New England. Joined by dynamic evangelist George Whitefield, the movement led to tens of thousands of conversions, revitalized American Christianity, reshaped church practices, and left a lasting impact on religious liberty and the spiritual foundations of early America.
