PRO-WORK, PRO-JUSTICE, PRO-LIFE, PRO-MARRIAGE–Biblical Convictions of Grace-Energized Men & Women
Last week we began a look at how to apply the Scriptures to our current moral and political climate in American society. I shared that the Lord has revealed His convictions very clearly in His Word. God is Pro-Life, Pro-Marriage, Pro-Justice, and Pro-Work.
We then defined those convictions as the Bible does, that God is:
• GOD is Pro-Life—God is opposed to Abortion and Euthanasia.

• GOD is Pro-Work—God is against indolence, sloth, unbiblical entitlements, oppression of the poor by the rich, and every form of false hope produced by gambling and lotteries.

Paul sits down to write to that very challenge the saints faced as they also had to live, work, and vote.
