Melinda

Melinda is currently the worship leader at her small church in rural America. Married for 23 years, she and her husband Larry have one son. She is the Director of Mailing in the print/mailing industry by day and freelance author by night. Her desire to write is a passion borne from tragedy. God used it to take her faith to a much deeper level. Melinda is a freelance writer and member of FaithWriters. She joined the TBL team in March 2014. Believing we are citizens of a greater ‘kingdom,’ her articles for The Bottom Line examine governmental responsibility, citizen involvement and current political topics. With the great wisdom contained in scripture as her guide, she looks at today’s political environment from a Biblical perspective. She prays her words will prompt the reader to view citizenship - and every aspect of their life, through the eyes of faith. Col 3:17 To read more of Melinda’s writings on her faith, hope, and life visit her blog Still Living Still Loving or her page at Faithwriters.com. You can also follow her on Twitter @MKZbk.

The Word was with God, and the Word was God. 4 The Word gave life to everything that was created, and his life brought light to everyone.

Pardoned

The punishment He endured was greater than any punishment that anyone had ever suffered before, or has suffered since. He was taken into custody, imprisoned, tried, and convicted – unjustly. Hanging between two genuine criminals, His punishment was quick and it was severe. His death, His separation from His Father ...

Accountability: Why Public Policy Matters To A Christian

Why should anyone care? Really? As Christians are we not to love all people regardless of who they choose to love? Of course we are. So why concern ourselves with personal life decisions such as these? Why involve ourselves in the controversy? One very good reason is that when judges legislate from the bench we no longer have a representative republic. A better reason is because of what God has to say.

Why Fight?

What is worth taking a stand and fighting for - even when gridlock is the result? Erosion of our freedoms? Fiscal responsibility? ... Life?
