BIBLICAL & SCIENTIFIC ANSWERS

What is the role of government? Well, the answer to that question—I don’t think you’ll be surprised by this—begins in Genesis! God instituted human government after the Flood (Genesis 9). Since God is the one who first instituted government, it is God who defines the role and purpose of government. If we want to think biblically about government, we must first start with Scripture.

Romans 1 is proved right again! I rarely read of a study that confirms Romans 1 as perfectly as a recent story from ScienceDaily, titled “Scientists make stunning discovery that could help explain why life exists.” The summary of the article explains the new study this way: “Scientists have discovered that the universe’s fundamental physical constants may be finely balanced to make life possible. Even tiny changes to these constants could make liquids too thick or too thin for essential biological processes, potentially preventing life as we know it. Surprisingly, these life-friendly conditions existed billions of years before living cells appeared. The findings raise intriguing questions about why the laws of physics seem so well suited to life.”
