By: Gary Hutchens The way we live our lives is often referred to by various terms that indicate a particular direction taken. We’ll speak of the course of a person’s life, or what path he’s taking in his life, or what road he’s traveling through life. Our Lord Himself used this very frame of reference: “Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it. Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it.” (Matt. 7:13-14).
By: Gary Hutchens In his first letter to the church at Corinth, the apostle Paul sharply rebuked the congregation for tolerating, within the congregation, a degree of sexual immorality so depraved that even the Gentiles, unbelievers, would not so much as talk about such a thing. A man had become involved in an affair with his father’s wife, apparently his step-mother (1 Cor. 5:1). The Gentiles were idol worshipers. Immorality seemed to naturally go hand-in-hand with idolatry, yet this was a form of immorality that even they found repulsive.
By: Gary Hutchens The issue of abortion is one of many that are tearing our culture and country apart. As noted in the previous article, the 1973 Supreme Court decision on Roe v. Wade touched off a firestorm of protests, marches, demonstrations, debates and legal challenges to the ruling by those opposed to abortion. The recent ruling by the current Supreme Court, reversing the original ruling, has touched off a similar firestorm by the abortion rights advocates. Its culture is the basic mindset of a nation. Our culture, and therefore our nation, is severely fractured over abortion. It has resulted in not just disharmony, but blatant animosity between the opposing sides.
By: Gary Hutchens Among the issues raging in our culture right now is that of abortion. In 1973 the United States Supreme Court ruled that abortion is a legal right under the U.S. constitution. That ruling has stood for these past forty-nine years. Just a few weeks ago, the current United States Supreme Court struck down that earlier ruling.
