The Kingdom and the Normal

What is normal? Today, academia mocks the normal - the family, the heterosexual, the hard-working man and woman who simply raise a family. The family is a difficult prospect because it requires a belief that the sometimes dreary work of being faithful, of working a boring job, of sacrificing present pleasure for future generations is worthwhile. It is worthwhile if you build in faith, in a God who blesses those who are faithful, in a God who is buildig His kingdom as the inevitable consequence of the gift of His Son.
