If we won't crusade against Satan and sin in all areas of life, we will lose the Christian Faith.

Genesis 1 and 2 were written not simply to satisfy our curiosity about how the universe began, but also to lay out God's "operating system" for his cosmos. Today, all seven of the creational norms revealed in Genesis are under severe attack. The calling of Christians is to urge the world — and the church — to return to creational sanity.

Allowing the truths of creation revealed in Genesis chapters 1 and 2 to shape and reshape our thinking and living is an imperative in today's contra-creational world. Here are ways to do that.

The first and most rapacious Christian heresy survives in churches that preach theologies of escape and a culture that ravages God's creational norms to fulfill its depraved dreams of utter autonomy.

By stressing redemption to the relative neglect of creation, evangelicalism contributed to the present climate of sexual chaos. Only by a return to the sequence of the Bible's story line can we begin properly to combat that modern autonomy.

As God-ordained spheres, the family, state and church each has unique duties and unique limitations. Each must stay within its ordained role.

Christianity is built on a crusade, and you can't preserve a position without crusading for it.

If we do not believe God rewards those who seek Him, we are faithless.

We can't be Christlike if we don't know what Christ was really like.

It's not enough to avoid the evil surrounding us. God calls us to expose and reprove it.
