"Whereas
the chief aim of the old (gospel) was to teach people to worship God,
the concern of the new (gospel) seams limited to making them feel
better." - Dr. J. I. Packer (A Quest for Godliness: The Puritan Vision of the Christian Life, by J.I. Packer)
"It seams to many of us, that if we are to avoid the eventual catastrophic world conflict, we must strengthen the United Nations as a first step toward a world government patterned after our own government with a legislature, executive and judiciary, and police to enforce its international laws and keep the peace. To do that, of course, we Americans will have to yield up some of our sovereignty. That would be a bitter pill. It would take a lot of courage, a lot of faith in the new world order. Pat Robertson has written in a book a few years ago that we should have a world government but only when the Messiah arrives. He wrote, literally, any attempt to achieve world order before that time must be the work of the devil. Well, join me. I'm glad to sit here at the right hand of Satan." - Walter Cronkite (Source)
