2023: A Year of Stories Like No Other

2023: A Year of Stories Like No Other

Extremes made 2023 a year of stories like no other. On the one hand: the depths of evil. On the other hand: revival.

The good news stories and devotionals under the Faith Content tab are the ones we share at Think Eternity. From the Asbury Revival during two weeks in February to the “Jesus Revolution” baptism of 4,500 people at Pirates Cove in Newport Beach, California, on July 8, God stories were (and still are) abundant.

But this I have against you, that you have forsaken your first love. (Revelation 2:4)

As I walked across the lawn toward the chapel, I noticed the crowds filing into two lines. At this point, hundreds and hundreds of people formed a circle that started at the steps and connected at the street. I wondered if we would be allowed in with the first wave. No one was able to enter the chapel until the students finished their weekly service at 11:30 AM. …
