In 1989, Francis Fukuyama wrote an essay for the National Journal entitled “The End of History?” The essay became the foundation of his 1992 book, The End of History and the Last Man. I read the book at the time – and disagreed at the time with its quintessentially-20th-century thesis that mankind had evolved firmly into Western liberal democracy, and that the social and cultural pressures that had hitherto created “history” would no longer be doing so.

Morning Reading; Philippians 2.12b-16a ESV
“Therefore, my beloved, as you have always obeyed, so now… work out your own salvation with fear and trembling, for it is God who works in you, both to will and to work for his good pleasure.

Morning Reading: Philippians 2.5-11 NLT
You must have the same attitude that Christ Jesus had.

When he appeared in human form, he humbled himself in obedience to God and died a criminal’s death on a cross.
Therefore, God elevated him to the place of highest honor and gave him the name above all other names, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
Philippians 2.5-11 NLT
