Is it our last stand—our last chance? Who knows? I'll let God answer that question, but as for me and my house and our church, we will serve the Lord and fight the good fight of faith. We will fuel the flames of revival. We will till the soil of our heart and prepare for the downpour of the Spirit.

If all Christians were more like Christ, could our post-Christian and even anti-Christian culture remain the same?

CNN reports that the percentage of Americans who strongly dislike the opposition party has risen by 400 percent in the last two decades. Social media plays an outsized role here as well.
