A government cannot be truly just without affirming the intrinsic value of human life.

The problem is that relativism provides no sure foundation for a safe and orderly society.

Life is a mess. And theology must be lived out in the midst of that mess.

God is dead not because He doesn't exist, but because we live, play, procreate, govern, and die as though He doesn't.

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.

Who speaks for God? He does quite nicely for Himself. Through His holy and infallible Word - and the quiet obedience of His servants.

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.
