If you’ve watched the news this week, then you’re aware that right before our eyes there is a revolution unfolding in the nation of Iran. Maybe as many as 2,000 people have been killed and another 10,000 imprisoned by an oppressive Muslim regime trying to hold on for dear life as their regime is about to be toppled by their own people. We need to talk about the state of the Islamic world.

Welcome back to a new season of TruthCurrents. A lot of things are happening in the world right now. Our task on TruthCurrents is not only to know what’s true, but to discover how to think biblically about currents events. Our question as we see the news headlines is, “What does the bible say about this and how should we think biblical thoughts?”

So, buckle up because TruthCurrents over the next several weeks is going to be wild because so much is happening in the world. And followers of Jesus Christ need to think biblical thoughts so that we have a reference point for how to engage the world around us.
