The Nexus

Nex*us

noun 

  1. A connection or series of connections linking two or more things.
  2. The central and most important point or place.

I am convinced the Christian worldview is a nexus.  It is the place where culture and politics and theology and life in general properly intersect with one another.  It is the most important place for that to happen because in the Christian worldview we find Truth.  This blog is dedicated to seeing that happen.
