One of the greatest pleasures of Creation is exploring it. Whether it was the land exploration that occurred for much of human history, or the exploration of the seas during the colonial eras, we have sought out the mysteries of the natural world. Today we are exploring space and the bottoms of the deeps with ever more sophisticated tools and even direct human exploration. Our chemists, physicists, and engineers are exploring the atomic world and learning how to build a molecule an atom at a time.

Going the Distance
Christ’s Great Commission is to “Go into the world, making disciples of all nations…” Many Christians rightly take this commission with all the seriousness and passion it deserves…yet not all of the discernment.
They are right to see the eternal ramifications of people’s choice about Christ. They are right to love them enough to engage them on the most important question they can ever address. The problem arises when they try for an instant conversion.
It’s like meeting a girl on the street, saying, “Hi, my name is Frank. Here’s a church. Let’s get married.” Tends to frighten the poor gal off, and rightfully so.
