The God who created the cosmos, who called forth the big bang from a subatomic particle, who directs the expanding universe with its billions of entities—stars, galaxies, black holes, anti-matter—must surely cry more than laugh as he views the posturing and certitudes of his people, flailing away at each other over the nature of truth while the rest of this speck of dust called earth is quickly going to perdition. It is time to join together as God’s agents of salvation.Download Article PDF Tweet PrintDownload Article PDF
