PREFACE

The world is full of vast expectations, inglorious resolutions and debilitating losses, that blast its soul, if it had one, but the souls and spirits of myriads of its people; and it has a ground.

This is not the now drying, now inundated ground under our feet, though this bears its own testimony. It is the ground of provocation to its own welfare, to the souls of men and to the Creator of it all.

This is no mere school-boy provocation of listless adolescent lust for excitement or self-affirmation. It goes far deeper. The world is busy execrating God. What else did Israel do when it condemned and murdered its own Messiah, coming on the date specified for the purpose of granting the grace infinitude to man, but by His own means, for God is always God, as man is always man! What else did Rome do in its appointed Governor, Pilate, who admitted the wrong of the coming murder, and then authorised it! What else does the Islamic idolatry do, which worships one God, all in order, but not the One who made them, hence an idol (cf. More Marvels Ch. 4) ? What else are the marauding Arab terrorists doing, yes and their Islamic allies, who declare war by the most futile of means, destruction, and execute their will with the cleverness of others, whether aircraft or biological, whether chemical or radiation methods! A silly child could do as much, given the money and the mindless confusion!

Secularism is doing no better (cf. Lord of Life Ch. 8). It ignores God. God does not ignore it. The face of the world is showing all of this! just as the face of Christ showed it before (Isaiah 52:12ff.). The world is that combination of beauty of creation and ugliness of descration which man, by his own actions and richly deserved judgments on him, has inherited. The old inheritance withers; the new augments. Madness does not enrich. Grace does.

Let us consider these things and that the grace is greater. Like sun lotion however, to kill the cancerous imposition, it is not automatic.
