GROVE – After Columbus Grove native Justin LeHew retired from the U.S.

The ongoing effects of the Fall are devastating. But when curse and deny God they are lashing out at the One who sustains them, preserves them, and stays His wrath against them. Yes, these three ways God has preserved humanity are hard to swallow. We die at a younger age than those who went before us. Creation had to be restrained because of how harsh it was to live in the world after the Fall. And He created governments as guardrails to keep us from acting on our worst desires, and to act as the civil judge when we do. God’s common grace is a reminder of the human condition. It’s a testimony of the evil we’re capable of practicing. Ultimately, we need God to protect us from ourselves.
