Victory and defeat in the church as a hopeful gospel
A devotional essay by Dr. Kenneth J. Foreman reflects on Christianity's growth vs world religions, noting Japan's low Christian share, shifts in Western prestige, and the church's struggles. It argues Easter signals God’s ultimate victory, not triumphalism, with Christ drawing all to himself and the kingdom coming in hearts, not by force.
