The targeting of pro-life and pro-family groups is just the tip of the iceberg.

None of this is out of character with the modus operandi of the Obama administration. None of this should surprise us. Remember, America, you voted for this. The question is, do we still have the good sense to do anything about it, or will this type of outrage against conservatives become cemented into the culture?

Speaking at Ohio State University earlier this month, Barack Obama urged students to pay no attention to those paranoid types who “incessantly warn of government as nothing more than some separate, sinister entity.” Oddly enough, in recent days the most compelling testimony for this view of government has come from the president himself, who insists with a straight face that he had no idea that the Internal Revenue Service had spent two years targeting his political enemies until he “learned about it from the same news reports that I think most people learned about this.” Like you, all he knows is what he reads in the papers. Which is odd, because his Justice Department is bugging those same papers, so you’d think he’d at least get a bit of a heads-up.

By Mark Dever

The Old Testament is the story of God’s promises to his people. Below its somewhat obscure surface is hidden magnificent truth about the love and power of God. Throughout its pages the reader can find promise after promise from God, all of which are fulfilled in the New Testament-in the incarnation of Jesus Christ.

Author Mark Dever introduces readers to the Old Testament as a glorious whole so that they are able to see the big picture of the majesty of God and the wonder of his promises.

Dever’s work, including a companion volume on the New Testament, is a great way to get the overall message of Scripture. These books are nontechnical and full of pastoral application.
