The time of decision is here
(Column ~ 08/09/13)
Dear Editor, The time of decision is here, and the battle lines are drawn -- there is no fence to sit on. (Indifference will place you in opposition to the quest for truth and goodness!)

To embrace and promote fruitful, healthy, moral lifestyles -- or to demand acceptance of ruinous perversions? To defend the dignity of every person -- or to manipulate and use (abuse) fellow human beings for the furtherance of an agenda? Will you stand on the Cornerstone of light (Jesus), or the shifting sand of darkness (deception and insidious entrapment)? The bottom line: are you with Christ, or against him? "He who is not with me is against me, he who does not gather with me, scatters." (Jesus' words, Luke 11:23). ...
