It’s election season. The debate is raging. Obama or Romney? Democrat or Republican? Who is the best? Who will save our country?

American politics

People are starting to get crazy about politics. One mention of the name Obama or Romney can set off a war.

Have you ever wondered why a sin is sin? What makes something bad? Most people would say that something is a sin because it goes against one of God’s commands. But have you ever asked why God commanded these things?

Good_versus_Evil

I mean, what standard did God use to determine what would classify as a sin and what wouldn’t? I doubt God was sitting up in Heaven one day with a list, picking things He liked for the good column and things He didn’t like for the sin column. Continue Reading…
