Regardless of our efforts to find utopia, Shangri-la, and peace our world is sinking ever deeper into a morass of mud, blood, debris, and death as we continue to reject God's absolutes of right and wrong about everything. The Bible says, "e;a tree is known by its fruit,"e; and the death, disease, and destruction we see everywhere is the evil fruit humanity's rebellion against God is producing.Herein we will examine some of history's "e;noble"e; efforts to find answers apart from God and how totally vain these efforts are. Its truly a war of words over both the world and the church and ignoring it will not make our problems disappear.
