Looking at God's world today through the lens of what we know about God from scripture.

The purposes of this blog include:

• Highlight and consider international events, political and global issues through the lense of scripture, seeking how God might want us to view these things.
• Encourage awareness, prayer and ways to take action, not just to be informed.
• Encourage North American Christians to adopt a broader view of our world rather than a narrower North-American-Centric perspective.
