You've probably noticed that America has changed, and not for the better. We are a confused people who want to post the Ten Commandments in public, but we often don't live by them in our private lives. Christians are more apt to entrust their hopes and futures to the state than they are their God. Believers are often more passionate about their politics than they are the redemption of their communities. We are a people divided between moralists and relativists, and neither side has all the answers. We are a people without a vision, and without a vision the people perish. What can save us from ourselves? The answer - as it has always been - is THE CHURCH. But for THE CHURCH to prevail in this generation it must get back to basics and boldly proclaim the vision of grace found only in the transforming truth of the Word of God.
