In this message, Rick Anderson threads two points together. The first concerns how to interpret and apply Old Testament narratives. To illustrate this point, Rick deals with a common objection which skeptics often ask: “How can you believe in a Bible which calls for the death of those who will not seek the Lord?” The second and main point, building on the first, answers, how the believer is to cope with all the emotional, psychological, political, spiritual, violent commotion going on in our society.
