Truth with reverence, reliability, and relevance
The following is the low-down on why I won’t be running in the next election (or any other election for that matter).
Christians get into politics when they lose sight of the value of Christ’s church. They get into politics because they want to get someone elected to government. They want to get into government so they can pass laws for their society. And, they want these laws so that their society will be obedient to a more biblical way of life.
The War of the Worlds is a science fiction novel by H. G. Wells. The novel was first published in hardcover way back in 1898. It is one of the earliest stories to detail a conflict between mankind and an extraterrestrial race. The story involves the invasion of England by Martians. The novel is one of the most commented-on works in the science fiction canon.

In John 1:1, Scripture repeats the phrase found in Genesis 1:1, “in the beginning”. This phrase refers to the beginning of our universe with its dimensions of time and space. It keeps with the view that God is looking down on His creation as an outsider. He is distant from us and this is the view that many people hold. Even most agnostics hold to a view that if God does exist, He is out there somewhere looking on.
However, unlike the story in Genesis chapter 1, the gospel of John chapter 1 goes beyond the origins of the universe. It gets downright personal. John 1:14 provides a most amazing clause, “And the Word was made flesh”. The apostle John tells us that at one point in history, God the Son lowered Himself to be one of us!
