Voltaire, has been credited with saying, “If God created us in his own image, we have more than reciprocated.” Since the Garden of Eden mankind has sought to eliminate God or replace Him. Most recent examples like Cultural Christianity, Christian Nationalism, and Evangelical Deconstructionism are simply efforts to strip away the truth of God's nature and replace it with the tenuous and inadequate abilities of man. Join me as I demonstrate that there is "nothing new under the sun" when it comes to human efforts to deny the one true God and his efforts to reconcile us to him through the sacrifice of Jesus on the cross. No matter how far you have run from God you are never more than one step from His open arms. That single step is the next step in the effort to change the world.
