Life-Savers
By Pastor Cornelius R. Stam
“The world passeth away” (1 John 2:17).“The whole world lieth in wickedness (1 John 5:19).
Christians
who spend their time and energy in social service, civic reform,
programs for the uplift of the community, etc., forget that this world
is like a sinking ship. They are wasting their time and energy trying to
save the wreck instead of saving individuals from the wreck.
Paul
lived in a day when politics were corrupt, when power trampled
righteousness under foot, when society was degraded, when purety was
laughed at, and immorality was exalted. He saw what was called “art and
culture” dragging thousands down as it tempted them from statues that
almost lived, and from writings and pictures so vile that they were only
surpassed by the actual immorality from Nero’s court down.
Yet
you never find him taking part in political campaigns, nor urging
social reform. His great aim was to present the Lord Jesus Christ as the
One to whom individuals must fly for salvation.
