The apostasy prevailing today is similar to that which in the prophet's day overspread Israel. In the exaltation of the human above the divine, in the praise of popular leaders, in the worship of mammon, and in the placing of the teachings of science above the truths of revelation, multitudes today are following after Baal. Doubt and unbelief are exercising their baleful influence over mind and heart, and many are substituting for the oracles of God the theories of men. It is publicly taught that we have reached a time when human reason should be exalted above the teachings of the Word. The law of God, the divine standard of righteousness, is declared to be of no effect.
--Yet this apostasy, widespread as it has come to be, is not universal. Not all in the world are lawless and sinful; not all have taken sides with the enemy.
--God has many thousands who have not bowed the knee to Baal, many who long to understand more fully in regard to Christ and the law,
--many who are hoping against hope that Jesus will come soon to end the reign of sin and death.
--And there are many who have been worshiping Baal ignorantly, but with whom the Spirit of God is still striving.
