It's Monday, October 21st, A.D. 2024. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 125 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com. I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Adam McManus British University issued “trigger warning” about reading Chaucer The University of Nottingham in England has issued a “trigger warning” to students studying various medieval literature, in part because of Christian themes in the texts, reports International Christian Concern. The Daily Mail on Sunday discovered the warning through a Freedom of Information Act request. The British university warned students that the course “Chaucer and His Contemporaries” contained issues of “violence, mental illness, and expressions of Christian faith.” Geoffrey Chaucer, most widely known for writing The Canterbury Tales, was a 14th-century English author and poet whose influence on English literature is on par with William Shakespeare. Chaucer, a Christian, is referred to by some as “the father of English poetry” and is said to have influenced C.S. Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkien. The warning seems close to censoring Christian voices altogether. 1 Corinthians 15:58 says, “Therefore, my dear brothers and sisters, stand firm. Let nothing move you. Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain.” Kamala: First presidential candidate to skip Catholic fundraiser in 40 years Former President Donald Trump was the only presidential candidate to appear at the prestigious 79th annual Alfred E. Smith Memorial Foundation Dinner in Manhattan on Thursday, reports The Christian Post. Vice President Kamala Harris was repeatedly criticized during the event for being the first presidential candidate in 40 years to skip the dinner, which has been a staple of presidential campaigns for decades. She appeared instead in a pre-recorded video, which was not well-received by the audience. Comedian and emcee Jim Gaffigan, who is Catholic, offered scathing jokes against Harris and the Democratic Party, reports the New York Post. GAFFIGAN: "You know, this event has been referred to as the Catholic Met Gala. Twenty-two percent of Americans identify as Catholic. Catholics will be a key demographic in every battleground state. I'm sorry, why is Vice President Harris not here?” (cheers, laughter) Gaffigan also mocked Democrats for calling Trump an existential threat to democracy despite ousting their own incumbent president without input from voters. GAFFIGAN: "The Democrats have been telling us Trump's re-election is a threat to democracy. In fact, they were so concerned of this threat, they staged a coup, ousted their democratically elected incumbent, and installed Kamala Harris." Trump roasted Chuck Schumer and Tim Walz for leftist lunacy Trump roasted New York Senator Chuck Schumer and the Woke party that he represents which has embraced this unbiblical notion that a person can change his or her gender. TRUMP: “Chuck Schumer is here looking very glum. But look on the bright side, Chuck, considering how ‘woke' your party has become, if Kamala loses, you still have a chance to become the first woman president.” (laughter, cheers) Trump poked fun at Minnesota Governor Tim Walz for lying when he claimed that he was in Hong Kong during the Tiananmen Square protests in 1989 when, in actuality, in Nebraska at the time. TRUMP: "Unfortunately Governor Walz isn't here himself, but don't worry, he'll say that he was.” By 2030, 16 million kids will exit public schools The current mass exodus from public schools suggests that only half of American students will attend them in 2030, according to a report entitled “The Future of K-12 Education. The Learning Counsel, an education research institute, said it expects the number of children in public schools to drop by 16 million over the next six years, leaving just 50.26% of students enrolled. Almost a third of American students will likely be homeschooled, reports The Liberty Sentinel. Drivers of this trend will include distrust of government, school choice legislation, and parental anger with sexually explicit indoctrination. How to finish global evangelization by 2030 And finally, too many believers do not have a sense of urgency to evangelize the lost. Dr. James Davis, the founder of the Global Church Network, explained to me how many people die every day worldwide without faith in Jesus Christ. DAVIS: “If we could imagine 132 plane crashes, which makes up 66,000 deaths, that's how many people die [each day], lost without Jesus Christ. And yet there's not a sense of urgency among some to do anything about it. There must be a paradigm shift that creates a sense of strategic urgency to evangelize, make disciples, plant churches, and help finish the Great Commission.” The Global Church Network has a vision to see the world evangelized by the year 2030. Their website is www.Finish2030.com. DAVIS: “In 2015, at the graveside of Martin Luther at Castle Church, the Global Church Network, with distinguished leaders around the globe, set an ambitious and strategic goal to help complete the Great Commission by the 2000-year birthday of the church. That would be June 9, 10, and 11 in 2030 in Jerusalem at the International Convention Center. “On that day, we're inviting more than 3,000 distinguished leaders from around the world to convene at the convention center and honor the first 3,000 that came to Christ 2,000 years ago when Peter preached that very first sermon. This is why we call it Finish2030, the celebration of the 2000- year birthday of the church.” Dr. Davis explained that we need to move on from the paradigm of the West sharing the Gospel with the rest. DAVIS: “Over the last 200 years, North America has sent tens of thousands of missionaries from around the world, and we praise the Lord for that, but the church has grown up all over the world. The strongest churches in all of the world do not reside here in the United States of North America, or in particular, even in Europe. “No longer the West going to the rest, but the best around the world going to the rest of the world. We're moving from a mission field to mission force, from parenting to partnering, from not networking to networking.” The key to the strategy of the Global Church Network is creating global Christian hubs of influence worldwide. DAVIS: “Currently, there's more than 200 hubs in the Global Church Network. We call this the global hubs of Christianity. By 2030, we will have more than 800 hubs in the network. “Every hub does at least three things. Some do four. We all synergize the best relationships, tie those relational knots, face to face, in local churches. We systematize the very best training, and we strategize for unreached peoples. No one knows the neighborhood like the neighbors. In some hubs, we also Scripturalize new Bible translations for unreached peoples. “So, we want to strategically place those hubs around the world to help us get closer and closer to the unreached, so that we can finish the Great Commission.” In Matthew 28:18-20, Jesus said, “All authority in Heaven and on Earth has been given to Me. Therefore, go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Monday, October 21st, in the year of our Lord 2024.

Imagine preaching in front of a crowd of protesters holding a banner: “HOW DARE YOU?” That's what Mark Labberton did every Sunday preaching in the clear, glass-walled sanctuary of First Presbyterian Church in Berkeley, California. In this Conversing Short, Mark reflects on this foundational, animating question that defined his public leadership during his sixteen years as senior pastor of First Pres. About Conversing Shorts: “In between my longer conversations with people who fascinate and inspire and challenge me, I share a short personal reflection, a focused episode that brings you the ideas, stories, questions, ponderings, and perspectives that animate Conversing and give voice to the purpose and heart of the show. Thanks for listening with me.” About Mark Labberton Mark Labberton is the Clifford L. Penner Presidential Chair Emeritus and Professor Emeritus of Preaching at Fuller Seminary. He served as Fuller's fifth president from 2013 to 2022. He's the host of Conversing. Show Notes The clear glass walls of First Presbyterian Church in Berkeley, CA “You're doing everything that you're doing in public.” “I wanted to welcome the outside, inside.” Berkeley protestors An imaginary poster: “How dare you?” Accepting responsibility, being held to account by the City of Berkeley Preaching in God's name Mark on the question, “How dare you?”: “And it felt like the question was legitimate. How dare you get this land? Why should it be given over to this purpose? What is it that you're worth? What are you actually bringing to the city? On what grounds can you make such outlandish claims? What are the implications of it? How will it show up that you actually live what you're saying? And therefore, how dare you do this both intrinsically? How dare you do this existentially? How dare you do it theologically? But also, how dare you do it culturally and politically and socially.” “What does it mean in this place at this time, surrounded by this community of believers and unbelievers, skeptics and critics of every kind?” Preaching to the “Cultured Despisers of the Faith” (a term coined by 19th century theologian Friedrich Schleiermacher in The Christian Faith) “Having grown up largely outside the life of the Church … I was one of the cultured despisers.” Representing classic Christian faith in an entirely unclassical community like Berkeley “I felt like if the Christian faith can't show up and make some kind of intelligent, purposeful, meaningful, transformative difference, then there is no case to be made and I should just walk away.” What's worth giving your life to?
