Still a Restless Nation, Unless We Rest in God

In the Gettysburg Address, Abraham Lincoln said America was “conceived in liberty.” Today we might call that our country’s unique selling proposition. While other nations emphasized biological unity, America in the 20th century finally became a liberty theme park where people of all skin colors and ethnicities could together enjoy the thrill rides of building families and careers.

Moses Warned His People. So Did George Washington.

Before Israel entered the land God had promised, Moses gathered the nation and delivered a final warning (Deut. 28–30; Lev. 18:28).

But for the past four years, the problem of homelessness has really bugged Read more. The post On the Edge or Off the Cliff appeared first on Christianity Today
