The death of a baby by abortion is a horrible act that many never see for what it is but only hear about on news programs and presidential debates. As terrible as it is, it is not the only atrocity that occurs. The mother is left to cope with the decision she made in taking her baby’s life. Many years may pass before she will be able to cope mentally with her decision.

God continues to bombard Job with question after question meant to establish God’s omnipotence. This line of questioning from God begins in Job 38:1 and runs all the way through the end of chapter 41. The last thing God does to further establish his omnipotence is to show Job two magnificent creatures.

The Bible is the most popular book of all time. Publishers sell a lot of them every year. This simply means that it is not immune from the effects of a market-based economy. A new translation, or more commonly, a new edition or format of an existing translation can mean a boost in sales to a publisher.

The deep longing to see everyone as okay before God ignores the words of Jesus. It Americanizes the phrase “grace of God” to be what it is not. It deceives people into sidestepping the decision to follow Jesus.

Similar to descriptions like “Orthodox Christianity” or “Feminist Christianity,” the phrase “Progressive Christianity” carries with it definite beliefs and hopes. But most of all it carries the deep desire for peace in the middle of a U.S. filled with culture clashes. It longs for quietness in a nation at war.

Even if, somehow, the armies of theists in America were able to hold the ground we possess in the discussion of homosexuality, our fight would not lessen. The progressive secularist would simply move his forces elsewhere.
