WE’VE LOST IT!

Brannon Howse, writing in the February issue of the TBC EXTRA, in an article entitled "We've Lost The Culture War," says what I've been saying for over four years now:    "The transformation of America is happening so fast that each day brings a new revelation of what government, religion, and educational leaders are doing to accomplish their goal of re-making America in very un-American ways. ... The speed at which the world is moving toward a 'new order' is simply astonishing."    He adds, "We are past the point of restoring our culture." In my opinion we can only expect limited success, one soul here and another there! We are definitely into the prophesied apostasy of the church, and the apostasy of the culture.    Unfortunately, most evangelical Christians do not have a clue as to what is going on. They think "all is well" and that only minor adjustments are needed to change things around. I believe spiritual and then physical persecution is not far away. Believers will soon experience a torrent of hatred. All we can do is stand firm, as Paul writes in Colossians 2:8:    "See to it that no one takes you captive through philosophy and empty deception, according to the tradition of men, according to the elementary principles of the world, rather than according to Christ."    -- Dr. Mal Couch (Feb., 10)
