Proclaiming the Faith in Branson
Posted: 24 Jul 2012 06:00 AM PDT
Last week, I had the opportunity to speak five times to the audiences at AiG’s Branson conference. I spoke four times to the women (in two identical women’s tracks) with the focus being human life. Specifically, I addressed the issues of the oneness of the human race and the value of human life. It really frustrates me in today’s culture to see a lot of Christians battling against the issues of racism and abortion on the basis of opinion. Some Christians will say there should be equality and we should value life because “all people are important no matter what ‘race’ or disabilities they have because they can contribute something good to society.”
While this may be a true statement, it should not be the basis by which we argue for the concept of one race and the value of life because they are nothing more than opinions. I shared with the ladies quotes from other people who have very different opinions.
Who’s opinion is right? I told them I didn’t care what their opinions were and that we need to be arguing for the concept of one race the value of life from the authority of God’s Word, not opinion! My presentations focused on equipping them to do just that. I’m thinking the topic of opinion vs. biblical authority would be great for a future presentation.
