Marriage. The roots are deep. The covenant is solid. The love is sweet. Life is hard. And God is good.

What is sin? It is the glory of God not honored. The holiness of God not reverenced. The greatness of God not admired. The power of God not praised. The truth of God not sought. The wisdom of God not esteemed. The beauty of God not treasured. The goodness of God not savored. The faithfulness of God not trusted. The commandments of God not obeyed. The justice of God not respected. The wrath of God not feared. The grace of God not cherished. The presence of God not prized. The person of God not loved. That is sin.

How do you get from, "We do not know whether this is protectable human life," to "Therefore, we will not protect it?"

Why does the judicial uncertainty about the humanity of the unborn lead to unbridled license to destroy it?

The gospel is the good news that the everlasting and ever-increasing joy of the never-boring, ever-satisfying Christ is ours freely and eternally by faith in the sin-forgiving death and hope-giving resurrection of Jesus Christ.

May we catch enough of a vision of Christ that we will not be satisfied unless we know him more fully.

The right creative act makes its own laws, and always will do.
