Sharing My Story

The factors of seeing the “signs of the times,”
the examples of Christians like Richard
Wurmbrand and many others and the
realization that redemptive work of Christ
in individual lives will ultimately lead to
a better world were strong factors in my
thinking when I joined the staff of Campus
Crusade in 1971.

I hasten to point out that Campus Crusade
at that time did not advocate a specific end
times teaching (even though Hal Lindsay
was a CCC staff member in the 1960s).
Nor did they over emphasize the idea of
Christian faith being a cure all for all of
the world’s ills. They emphasized very
strongly the obedience to Christ’s command
to his disciples in the Great Commission.
This Great Commission (Matthew 28:18-20)
to preach and teach Christ’s message was
given to all Christians of all generations
and ages and the Apostles being the first
to hear it and eventually to carry it out.

This was one way how my Christian faith
and my interest in politics and current
events crossed and influenced each other.
