Distancing Darwin from Racism Is a Fool’s Errand
“It is very true what you say about the higher races of men, when high enough, replacing & clearing off the lower races.

Scott Bredenhof reflects on how sin can gain dangerous momentum in our lives — and what God has done about it.

It wasn’t even 250% higher, which would have been, or should have been, a screaming alarm for the medical community and public alike. Nor was it 400% higher, or 600% higher. It was nearly two thousand percent higher.”
