Who Leads the Family?

Is it parents, children, or the state? How you answer that question depends greatly on your worldview. As our culture moves further and further away from its Biblical underpinnings, and as the influence of the church wanes, we see the state stepping in to take on the role of parents. They will say it is to protect the children. The state may even confer rights to children. But, don’t be fooled. Rarely does a child make a decision that impacts the rest of their life without input from an adult. The state wants to make sure that adult is someone they deem suitable and they have trained.

Bringing Truth to the Capitol

Recently, I had a conversation with a legislator about the death penalty. You see, there is a bill (SB20-100) working its way through the legislative process to repeal Colorado’s death penalty law. I know that good Christian people can and do disagree about the implementation of the death penalty. Mostly, I wanted to hear his heart on the matter and see if there was any room for him to hear another perspective. I listened and knew he had made up his mind.
