The Redeeming Word



	2 Timothy 3:17 It is God's way of preparing us in every way, fully equipped for every good thing God wants us to do. God will prepare you for the work at hand. “He will be faithful to complete it” as the scriptures say. We cannot truly understand the way God thinks. How is it even possible for God to forgive us for our sinful nature? God paid the price to forgive us over and over again as we fail miserably to live up to His Word and His Way within this world. Yet, through His love for us, God gives us His best... Jesus Christ, to bear the punishment for our sin and for our human nature. God places us in situations, and in places, so as He can prepare us, teach us…and in every way, giving us ever opportunity to choose His way over our own.r and began to breathe. continue reading here

July 21, 2010 committee for justice Tea Party & Why Kagan is Unpopular. In a RedState post, CFJ Executive Director Curt Levey explains why a cartoon in today’s Washington Post accusing the tea party movement of racism is grounded in ignorance of the Constitution and the civil rights movement. And in an op-ed at the Daily Caller, Levey explores the reasons why public support for Elena Kagan is at a historical low for a Supreme Court nominee headed for confirmation. He argues that Kagan’s unpopularity has much to do with her positions on the issues that dominate the public debate about her nomination. On these issues: gun rights, gay rights, partial birth abortion, and the like polls show that Kagan is on the wrong side of the American people by large margins. Levey concludes that the chasm between Kagan and the American people on a host of hot-button issues presents a valuable electoral opportunity for the GOP.more ..........................................................................................................................................
