God is truly on the side of those who work for social justice, especially when we accompany that work with the giving of the Gospel!

The Bible isn't quick to give answers; it mainly gives the Answer.

True, God hates Alzheimer's, spinal cord injury, mental illness, autism, and the rest (these conditions are all symptoms of the Fall).

My longings are best met when, in prayer, I simply let my heart beat in time with the Lord's.

The Psalms wrap nouns and verbs around our pain better than any other book.
