SOME COMMENTS ABOUT THIS PRESENT WORLD

"Large parts of the world in which we live have already become a lunatic asylum and the inmates are running it.

"It is a weird situation when the students run the schools, the children direct and control the homes, the teachers and parents have completely lost control, and the crooks (and crooked politicians) and drug dealers have major control of the politics and economy of the world and our own country.

"It is impossible to accept or understand a time in which the victims have NO rights, and the PERPETRATORS OF THE MOST VICIOUS CRIMES HAVE ALL THE RIGHTS!

"And YET our own country is still the greatest in the world, although real and true patriotism has become a dirty word to many people, especially to the "media!"

"It is absolutely unthinkable that, in a nation that was (beyond any possible honest doubt) founded as a definitely Christian nation, you can't even have a Bible on the school teacher's desk without risk of serious problems.

"But the Koran, Mein Kampf, Das Kapital, or any "scientific" fiction supporting Darwinism's so-called science, (which is really just the false religion of evolution), Socialism, Communism, or other Atheistic Humanistic claptrap are all perfectly acceptable.

"And the 'sodomites' (and every other variety of perversion which can be imagined by the wicked hearts of unregenerate men) can 'defend the indefensible' before school children, seeking more 'victims' of their so-called 'lifestyle' which is in reality a 'death-style,' although protected by law in some cases.

"It is incredible to most of us that these things can be true - - - And YET THEY ARE!" --- James Dearmore, Over 50 Yrs A Missionary and Continuing, (33 of Those Years in African Tribal Missions).

ANTI-CHRIST, AND THE PRESENT DAYS

"Our world is fast becoming a madhouse and the inmates are trying to run the asylum. It is a strange time when the patients are writing the prescriptions, the students are threatening to run the schools, the children to manage the homes, and church members -- not the Holy Spirit -- to direct the churches. Such lawlessness always brings a dictator and the last of the line will be the Antichrist, now in the offing awaiting his cue." --Vance Havner

ON THE DIVINE ATTRIBUTES OF WISDOM AND KNOWLEDGE

"None who believe in God have ever denied to Him knowledge and wisdom. Wisdom is the employment of things known, with judicious reference to proper ends. Now God is Spirit: but to think, to know, to choose are the very powers of spirits. The universe is full of beautiful contrivances.

These exhibit knowledge, wisdom, and choice, coextensive with the aggregate of the whole. --- Excerpt from Dr. R. L. Dabney, on "Divine Attributes"

SOME MORE ABOUT GROWING OLDER GRACEFULLY

"Lord, Thou knowest better than I know myself that I am growing older. Keep me from getting too talkative, and thinking I must say something on every subject and on every occasion. Release me from craving to straighten out everybody's affairs. Teach me the glorious lesson that occasionally it is possible that I may be mistaken.

Make me thoughtful, but not moody, helpful, but not bossy; for Thou knowest, Lord, that I want a few friends at the end."--Anonymous
