Most Of The Ugliness In The Human Narrative Comes From A Distorted Quest To Possess Beauty. Coveting Begins With Appreciating Blessings: Murder Begins With A Hunger For Justice. Lust Begins With A Recognition Of Beauty. Gluttony Begins When Our Enjoyment Of The Delectable Gifts Of God Starts To Consume Us. Idolatry Begins When Our Seeing A Reflection Of God In Something Beautiful Leads To Our Thinking That The Beautiful Image Bearer Is Worthy Of Worship.

I Think We've Misinterpreted Some Of The Scriptures To Justify The Death Penalty. So Whereas A Lot Of Folks In America Feel Like We Can Do Far Better Justice - it's More Expensive To Do The Death Penalty Than The Alternatives - there's So Many Reasons That People Come To The Conclusion To Abolish The Death Penalty.
