    Professor Andy McIntosh wrote, in regard to a literal Genesis: Genesis records in a matter of fact way that the world was created by a definite act of special creation by God.

    What we do for the Lord is important, but so is why we do it! …Just think of it: it is possible to serve, sacrifice, and suffer “for My name’s sake” and yet not really love Jesus Christ!
