Genesis 1:1. The cleanest verse in the Bible. As the story of mankind begins, the reader meets the Maker of all things: “In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.” It’s so simple, yet it is so profound.

When you say this to a Christian, theyContinueContinue reading “Shock and Awe II: Scripture in the Buff”
