I love Thom's stuff and typically find him to be accurate, articulate and realistic.
I actually am encouraged by these 16 predictions. While I do see decline in many areas of our state, I also see congregations and pastors that are raising up life-giving and life-transforming ministry; mission-based as they lift up Jesus Christ! I see abundance and increase in kingdom-modeled pastors and leadership. I have hope!
2016, I believe, will be a crazy, wild year in many ways. I also believe that Jesus could return very soon. This is a glorious hour for His Church! Keep serving and worshiping Jesus! It isn't in vain! It will be worth it all! Maranatha!
