Therefore, God’s will for America under his mighty hand, is that every Christian, every Jew, every Muslim, every person of every religion or non-religion, turn from sin and come to Jesus Christ for forgiveness and eternal life. Jesus rules the wind. The tornadoes were his. Why would God reach down his hand and drag his... Continue Reading

If one can see the extension of kindness in the form of basic provision as part of the grace of the gospel, this decision (which is now out of our hands) may sit a little better. If, on the other hand, another suffers a scruple (namely, anxiety that the rule is more lax than one... Continue Reading

The change assumes that the church has deemed same-sex partnerships to be acceptable. While opponents of a biblically based sexual ethic have claimed victory on the matter, the fact remains that the deletion of “fidelity/chastity” from the Book of Order did not also cancel out the Scriptures and confessional witness it summarized.
