His Image

Dear Friends,

Millions on this continent and over a billion on our globe share a very important fundamental belief; mankind is created in the image of God.

There are times I want to buy three minutes of air time, like the president gets for his State of the Union Address, and remind the country of this very important truth. Why? Because it affects so much of how Christians looks at issues like abortion, civil rights, and recent discussions about government mandates on what services must be provided by insurance providers.

Here it is… Human life is sacred because each one of us is created in the image of God. This places the life of a human being over the life of a whale or oak tree. This makes Christians on guard when it comes to issues of taking a human life – in any way.

Why do pundits and commentators seem to miss the obvious? I am, you are, we are created in His image!
