The Pulpit
Pulpit from which John Hus preached, Prague, CZ
For those who believe that separation
of church and state is not enough, that the world would be better off with no
church at all, ask yourself this question:
How many hospitals, universities, orphanages, homeless and abuse
shelters have been founded by the ACLU or American Atheist Society? It is the inclusion of the word
Christian, Baptist, etc. in the name of so many of these institutions that proves
by actions, not just words, who really cares for the suffering of mankind and

right: Hinduism has made India what
it is; Confucianism and Buddhism have made China what it is; Mohammedanism has
made southwest Asia and north Africa what they are; Roman Catholicism has made
Italy, Spain and Latin America what they are; Protestantism has made Britain,
the United States, and Canada what they are. And BTW, don't forget what God told

For those who believe the Bible has lost its relevance in this nation, remember this: Since its beginnings, the Bible as been the object of never-ending persecution. Edicts have been issued to ensure every copy was destroyed. Commands have been given that all found with a copy should be put to death. The Word of God has passed through the furnace of persecution, philosophical disputation, scientific reasoning, and literary criticism, without losing one ounce of its purity. Every possible effort has been made to undermine faith in its inspiration and authority. Yet it is the Best-Selling book of all time--six billion copies sold and given away. God did say, "Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away" (Matt. 24:35). That's right--all critics of the Bible will fade from existence, but God's word will remain forever (and yes, the empirical evidence is on my side).
Note: While I make every effort to produce an error-free document, errors occasionally creep in. I would appreciate you bringing any to my attention so that I may make the necessary corrections.
