If we're to sort out the complicated issues we face and bring healing to our land, we need to start by recognizing everyone alive with a viewpoint today is made in the image of God.
This may seem obvious and hardly with saying, but we need to keep coming back to it. Repeatedly.
You see, we're at a place in our history where -- because of all the efforts made to drive God out of our institutions -- we only look for and accept secular solutions as a nation.
But the problem is... there are no secular solutions for spiritual problems.
And what we face today are massive spiritual problems... starting with the basic issue that we no longer see people as image bearers of their Creator.
So to have meaningful conversations that promote healing, we need to first recover this truth:
Every person is made in the image of God, with value and a purpose in His eyes.
It may take time for this message to get traction, but it's the place to start for bringing our divided nation back together again.
