Belief Does Not Change What Is.

The Moral Absolutes Rest Upon God's Character. The Moral Commands He Has Given To Men Are An Expression Of His Character. Men As Created In His Image Are To Live By Choice On The Basis Of What God Is. The Standards Of Morality Are Determined By What Conforms To His Character, While Those Things Which Do Not Conform Are Immoral.

God Has Ordained The State As A Delegated Authority; It Is Not Autonomous. The State Is To Be An Agent Of Justice, To Restrain Evil By Punishing The Wrongdoer, And To Protect The Good In Society. When It Does The Reverse, It Has No Proper Authority. It Is Then A Usurped Authority And As Such It Becomes Lawless And Is Tyranny.

We Cannot Deal With People Like Human Beings, We Cannot Deal With Them On The High Level Of True Humanity, Unless We Really Know Their Origin-who They Are. God Tells Man Who He Is. God Tells Us That He Created Man In His Image. So Man Is Something Wonderful.

Sadly Enough, There Is A Kind Of An Anti-intellectualism Among Many Christians: Spirituality Is Falsely Pitted Against Intellectual Comprehension As Though They Stood In A Dichotomy. Such Anti-intellectualism Cuts Away At The Very Heart Of The Christian Message. Of Course, There Is A False Intellectualism Which Does Destroy The Work Of The Holy Spirit. But It Does Not Arise When Men Wrestle Honestly With Honest Questions And Then See That The Bible Has The Answers. This Does Not Oppose True Spirituality.

In The 20th Century, Evangelical Christians In America Have Naively Accepted The Role Assigned To Us By An Anti-religious, Anti-christian Consensus In Our Society. We Have Been Relegated To A Cultural Backwater, Where We Are Meant To Paddle Around Content In The Knowledge That We Are Merely Allowed To Exist.
