[QUOTE="Viktor Zeegelaar, post: 1483191, member: 22108"] Great article. Sadly we live in a world, at least in the West, where most people never have known God from their childhood onwards. The only way to come to Christ and hence the truth is through suffering. I see no other way why someone would forsake the path of the world (which is the path of Satan). I certainly had still been on the path of the world if I didn't suffer tremendously through desillusion in game/materialism. In hindsight that was only God's grace. This article underlines the need to keep ourselves immersed in the truth, that does not change, regardless of the changes we see outside, the evil, the panic, the immorality, the blasphemy. I find it increasingly difficult to see these things everywhere around me being in the belly of the beast in the NL, but there's no other way to cope with the current world and the way it's heading. Only that will keep you at ease spiritually. [/QUOTE]
