Welcome to the Jeff Kaven show, where we talk about the Bible, discipleship, and evangelization,

putting it all together in living as activated disciples.

This is show 448, Scripture, at the turning point.

Well, what a week it has been, right?

I'm Jeff Kavins.

Thank you for joining me again this week, where every week we try to bring hope and bring

the word of God to you, you know, in the midst of everything that's going on and my,

my, are things going on?

It's been really wild lately in the news. And of course, Charlie Kirk is on the minds of most people right now.

It's in the news and people are talking about it. And what a revival is taking place around the country right now.

And it doesn't seem to be following exactly

denominational lines. It's, it's everybody. It's, it's Protestants, it's non-denominational Christians,

it's, it's Catholics. There's just something happening right now. And truly what happened to

Charlie Kirk was, quote, unquote, a turning point,

was a turning point. And I got to thinking a lot, you know, about this idea of turning points

in the last week, Annunciation, the school Annunciation in the Twin Cities, a couple of weeks

before that, where two youngsters were killed by a shooter. So the turning point,

you know, I started thinking about this, that the ultimate turning point, the ultimate turning point

was the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus. That's the ultimate turning point,

when the Lord gave his life for the sins of the world

and something was ignited, there was a spiritual explosion that took place. But we also see

these other explosions throughout history, explosions meaning these movements of the Holy Spirit that causes people to give their lives to the Lord, to repent and to turn from their ways, and say, I'm done with all of that darkness.
