Bible Note: Joe, there is little doubt in my mind that you, I, and others of our stripe are losing out in the popularity contest with those who embrace falsehood and dissent themselves or who spread the propaganda of those who do. Yet I suspect that you lose no more sleep than I do that might be occasioned by our efforts on this forum to stand by the revealed truth of the Bible and make every effort to refute and denounce error. As I have felt moved in the past to commend you on your uncompromising stand for the truth, so again I applaud you. "Popularity?" wrote Victor Hugo, "It's glory's small change."...... And that seasoned 'pearl of wisdom' from Beatle John Lennon, speaking of their rock group: "We're more popular than Jesus Christ now. I don't know which will go first. Rock and roll or Christianity." Well, we both of us might possibly be talked into venturing an 'unpopular' guess on that, might we not, Joe? --Hank |
