ANTAGONISM


The late Gordon H. Clark (Butler University)  points to "the flippancy and venom directed against biblical Christianity by the writers of college textbooks and the almost complete absence of specifically Christian teaching in the universities. Small groups and individuals, he says "fight manfully against our present evil world, but there seems to be no trend away from socialism in politics, ecumenicalism in the Church, and antagonism to the Word of God everywhere."
There will be terrible times in the last days. People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good, treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God --- having a form of godliness but denying its power. Have nothing to do with them (II Timothy 3:1-5).


A hymn to read, sing, hum, or whistle, to the glory of God: Rise, My Soul, to Watch and Pray(Johann B. Freystein, 1697).
