The twenty-first century thus begins with a great challenge and a heritage of moral failure, a failure which time and history have not solved, but only magnified. There is no evidence of a resort to the Biblical solution. Salvation is not by human action but by God's grace. Statist grace is, however, what man wants. Every session of a congress or parliament sees billions appropriated as the manifestation of statist grace.
Grace is now essentially monetary, rather than religious.
The world has become catholic or universal in its claims while the church has become provincial. It is time for a change. Religions of state, school, money, or the like are proven failures and will be increasingly more so. The world rejects salvation in rejecting Christ. We need to be speaking openly and freely about false plans of salvation if the twenty-first century is not to be a continuation of the twentieth century, an age of death and tyranny.
