God Uses Prisons To Train People For

Let's Acknowledge That America's Increasing Decadence Is Giving Aid And Comfort To The Enemy. When We Tolerate Trash On Television, Permit Pornography To Invade Our Homes Via The Internet, And Allow Babies To Be Killed At The Point Of Birth, We Are Inflaming Radical Islam.

It Is Not What We Do That Matters, But What A Sovereign God Chooses To Do Through Us. God Doesn't Want Our Success; He Wants Us. He Doesn't Demand Our Achievements; He Demands Our Obedience. The Kingdom Of God Is A Kingdom Of Paradox, Where Through The Ugly Defeat Of A Cross, A Holy God Is Utterly Glorified. Victory Comes Through Defeat; Healing Through Brokenness; Finding Self Through Losing Self.

If Our Culture Is To Be Transformed, It Will Happen From The Bottom Up - From Ordinary Believers Practicing Apologetics Over The Backyard Fence Or Around The Barbecue Grill.

People Who Reject Transcendent Authority Can No Longer Persuade One Another Through Rational Arguments; Everything Is Reduced To Personal Opinion. Debates About Ideas Thus Degenerate Into Power Struggles; We're Left With No Moral Standard By Which To Measure The Common Good. For That Matter, How Can There Be A 'common Good' Without An Objective Standard Of Truth?

Knowing That We Are Fulfilling God's Purpose Is The Only Thing That Gives Rest To The Restless Human Heart.
