Should We be Optimistic or Pessimistic About the Future?

February 22, 2007

Mark Dever over at Together for the Gospel has written about how we should expect persecution. He may well be right.

On the contrary, it is the unbiblical notion of self-determination which would consistently put an end to all prayers for the lost. Prayer is a request that God do something. But [...]
