Here we have the world spirit of our age — autonomous Man setting himself up as God, in defiance of the knowledge and the moral and spiritual truth which God has given.
---Here is the reason why we have a moral breakdown in every area of life.
---The titanic freedoms which we once enjoyed have been cut loose from their Christian restraints and are becoming a force of destruction leading to chaos.
---And when this happens, there really are very few alternatives.
All morality becomes relative,
law becomes arbitrary,
and society moves toward disintegration.
In personal and social life, compassion is swallowed up by self-interest. At this point, the words ‘right’ and ‘left’ will make little difference. They are only two roads to the same end; the results are the same.
---An elite, authoritarianism as such, will gradually force form on society, so that it will not go into chaos — and most people would accept it.” (The Great Evangelical Disaster, pp. 22, 23, Francis A. Schaeffer, Crossway Books, Westchester, Illinois, 1984).
For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty;
only use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh,
but by love serve one another.
Galatians 5:13
