King's Business - 1969-06

David Wilkerson turns weakness into strength... In his new book, David Wilkerson gives realistic counsel to adults: the woman in love with a married man, the homosexual, the dedi­ cated yet troubled Ch ristian . Translating his uniquely success­ ful Teen Challenge approach into adult terms, he honestly shares his own temptations and inadequa­ cies, and points the way to victory in the Christian life. —

E d it o r ’ s N o t e : The February issue of THE KING’S BUSINESS carried an editorial by Dr. Samuel H. Sutherland which has been reprinted in numerous periodicals and newspapers throughout Southern California. One such paper, THE INDEPENDENT PRESS TELE­ GRAM. published in Long Beach, Cali­ fornia, reprinted excerpts from the edir torial and invited readers to send in their reactions. While the majority of comments concerning the editorial were very favorable, there were several op­ posing viewpoints. We reprint them in the interest of the readers of THE KING’S BUSINESS. Dr. Suherland speaks of “total pro­ miscuity evidenced on every hand, even among the so-called respectable citi­ zenry of the community and alas, to be found in some church circles also,” and implies that the great majority of mid­ dle class young marrieds are engaged in key clubs and wife swapping. Perhaps the good man should stop reading the covers of the “ I Confess” type of magazines in the drug stores, and get into the real world of average people, where, to be sure, there may be such goings on among a fringe of the jet setty crowd. The rest of us ordinary mortals, Dr. Sutherland, do not have the time, energy, money, and oppor­ tunity to spare from making a living, bringing up our children, and taking care of our homes — even if we had such inclinations. He attacks “ the freedom allowed in making and showing of modern motion pictures.” Would any literate adult care to have Dr. Sutherland’s defini­ tion of “modern” determine what films he or she could or could not see? Mrs. R. Thomas, Long Beach “ Producers know full well that the American public would never pay to see a good, clean, wholesome picture,” says Dr. Sutherland. Did he ever hear of Mary Poppins and The Sound of Music, the two biggest money makers of the past few years? Mike O'Neal, Long Beach Well, three cheers for playing up the Biola’s president’s speech. Whether or not things are as bad as in the days of Sodom and Gomorrah, the way some movies and TV programs are going we may be heading in that direction, and a word of warning is not amiss. R.SJ.r Lakewood Come now, Dr. Sutherland. The state of things is surely bad enough so you do not have to claim that if a minister preached against sin his congregation would demand his resignation! Was that the First Satanic Church you were referring to? Let’s not talk nonsense. A Minister, Long Beach The harshly puritanical stance of clergymen of Dr. Sutherland’s persua­ sion is one of the causes of today’s THE KING'S BUSINESS
