Under the direction of the Holy Spirit men and women of God were ready to give a logical defense for the hope they had within them. They live in a welter of garbled voices, looking for directions from papers that come floating down like Alice in Wonderland's cards, scattered like languages, from different thought-forms, different philosophies, all say that there is no truth and no absolute upon which to live, no base for any choice of a moral standard. So whether one reads the papers upside down left to right, knows one word in three, it doesn't matter. There'll be a new wind in a few days to blow more into one's head. Perhaps you can even stop looking for papers among the falling leaves.
All law is obsolete.
There are no more standards. Yes, Edith Schaeffer is right. This is the advice given to and by our culture. There is no question that we are living in very difficult days. The spiritual battles are real and becoming much more intense.
