Tibbett writes that he cannot comment on the world's spiritual condition because his experience is confined to the U.S.. He believes there is a spiritual regeneration underway in the U.S. He cannot say whether there is more godliness in our lives, but believes people are living more closely to the life in which God placed us, although talking less about Him.
