It Is The Church's Responsibility, The Government's

In Closing, To Those Who Have Closed The Door On Religion - I Was Recently Asked By A Non-christian Friend If I Thought He Was Going To Hell. I Said, 'i Hope Not. It Will Be Hard To Enjoy Heaven Without You.' If Those Of Us Who Believe In God Do Not Believe God's Grace Is Big Enough To Save The Whole World... Well, We Should At Least Pray That It Is.

Because You Can Poke Someone's Eye Out Legally Doesn't Mean You Should And That It's Right. The Bible Teaches Us A More Perfect Justice.

I Just Have A More Holistic Sense Of What It Means To Be For Life, Knowing That Life Does Not Just Begin At Conception And End At Birth, And That If I Am Going To Discourage Abortion, I Had Better Be Ready To Adopt Some Babies And Care For Some Mothers.

I Am Convinced That If We Lose Kids To The Culture Of Drugs And Materialism, Of Violence And War, It's Because We Don't Dare Them, Not Because We Don't Entertain Them. It's Because We Make The Gospel Too Easy, Not Because We Make It Too Difficult. Kids Want To Do Something Heroic With Their Lives, Which Is Why They Play Video Games And Join The Army. But What Do They Do With A Church That Teaches Them To Tiptoe Through Life So They Can Arrive Safely At Death?

I Had Come To See That The Great Tragedy In The Church Is Not That Rich Christians Do Not Care About The Poor But That Rich Christians Do Not Know The Poor...i Truly Believe That When The Rich Meet The Poor, Riches Will Have No Meaning. And When The Rich Meet The Poor, We Will See Poverty Come To An End.
