Our Abnormal World

In 1968 Presbyterian apologist Francis Schaeffer wrote in a letter: "We live in an abnormal world and all kinds of things do exist, but this does not make them right." Thousands of years of history will most assuredly bear witness to the truth of this statement. The world, except in the very early days of its creation, has existed in an abnormal state. And why is it abnormal? Simply because while God Almighty, its Creator, formed perfection, man has turned that perfection into a state of abnormality. And while mankind, since the beginning, has looked upon his abnormal world and pronounced it right, has there ever been a period of history in which so many abnormal elements have been declared and "deemed" o k.

Dad Lessons by Kassie Fair Sanders

Kassie Fair Sanders posted to GarySandy Fair Happy Birthday, Daddy! I didn’t buy you a present you can unwrap but this week between your birthday and Father's Day I will be posting some lessons I have learned from you. So stay posted to my posts to see that I did listen and learn from you all these years. Thank you for being a godly humble and wise example for all of us. I love and miss you! Dad Lesson #1 My Dad taught me that with God all things are possible! When Karlee was in NICU and I couldn't even go in and see her out of fear of getting too attached it was my Dad who sat by her side and sang "You are my Sunshine" to her for hours and prayed that she would breathe on her on. My Dad never doubted that our God wouldn't "take his sunshine away" Thanks to Dad I have the confidence that with God ALL things are possible. Dad Lesson #2 by Kassie Fair Sanders on Friday, June 10, 2011 at 10:11am Proverbs 10:19 "When words are many, sin is not a...
