The human body, strong, yet surprisingly fragile, lives a God-designated period of time on earth and dies. The brain which the body hosted also dies, sometimes with, sometimes before the body disintegrates. The soul, by most solemn contrast, never dies. These three arguably began their existence at the same time, but when the first two have a terminal point on earth the soul moves beyond this “partnership” to live forever outside earth’s limited borders.

A day of choice comes to every man and child,

To follow the Meek and Lowly, or satan, mean and wild,

To take the way, narrow and right

Or the way of confusion, sin and blight.

O choose, friend, the Christ, He is so mild.

Worldliness

Worldliness has been preached

from our pulpits over and over. But how has it been preached? Dress? Yes! Amusements? Yes! Materialism? Yes! Education?   Well…not like it should be. Why?

What could be more worldly than its system of education, kindergarten – doctorate?

That system is responsible in a large part for the worldliness in the other areas.

– Irenaeus, AGAINST HERESIES
