I delight to introduce a new guest blogger—Peter LaByer of Cantonment, Florida. He and his mom—our daughter Elisabeth—visited Betty and me during the Thanksgiving holidays. He shared the following essay with me, and I was impressed enough to ask his permission to publish it, and I’m glad he consented. You…

The Scriptures teach a simple prophetic framework that encourages us to fulfill the Great Commission: to make disciples of all nations in this age. We’re making incremental progress toward the goal of discovering that framework. Our starting point is the Olivet Discourse, where a simple, understandable conversation occurs. Jesus says…
