In reply to Chris Eggers.

I will be sharing this post with my congregation, as they need a basic understanding of the root of the problem. No, it doesn't give solutions, but doesn't the solution come to us through the Holy Spirit when we are challenged and must "make a defense to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you"?

Next, we will, together, search the scriptures so that we can firm up our own faith in preparation for future conflicts at home, in the workplace, and in the public square, as our faith in God and his expectations for living come under attack.
