The Evil in This Present World (continued) with man’s thinking and intellect. But from God’s point of view we are in dividuals who have been created in His likeness and image. If we were bio logical machines, we ought to be run as machines. In the light of truth, however, it stands to reason that we must move and operate in God’s like ness. Sin has cut us off from the very source of our life and we have become alienated from the Lord. The word “alienated” means that we are foreign ers and are completely separated from that which is in existence. When one is on foreign territory there are cer tain things he can enjoy and certain things he cannot. When I am in Can ada, I have the privilege of buying such things as their lovely china. Yet I do not have the privilege of voting. The Bible tells us that we miss the Lord’s blessings since because of sin we are alienated from Him. We have cast ourselves adrift and are absolutely on our own. As a result we have reached a paralysis in our living which causes endless frustration, dis satisfaction, and restlessness. No won der there- is so much insecurity in the world. The reason men can’t see this is because their understanding has been darkened through the vanity of their minds. The human race is in rebellion against God. The reason why people are greedy is because they are trying to make themselves secure while re fusing God’s perfect security. But the believer can rejoice in that he has found Christ as Saviour and is no long er alienated from God’s life. Kansas City 7 te 'Stata Monday through Friday 9:00 A M . KCLO-1410 on the dial

Ehlert, head librarian for Biola College, looks over a copy of the 1608 Geneva Bible, often called “The Breeches Bible" This is because Genesis 3:7 reads, “They made themselves breeches” The library now contains more than 65,000 volumes.
