By the time T. F. Zimmerman was elected as the general superintendent in the late 1950s, materialism had already begun to make a bid for America's soul. The inexorable march toward humanism and hedonism moved unchecked by depression or war. Satan's strategy was evident. For three decades, the moral foundation of the nation was attacked, science became the new truth, right and wrong were no longer definable, the church became irrelevant, the laws of God were resented, and the nation began to throw off any restraint which could be interpreted as a violation of individual rights. The Assemblies of God now ministers in a society which has changed the truth of God into a lie.
Foolish minds concoct new ways to mock sin.
Evil hearts devise ways to destroy anything pure. Satanic imaginations dream up new perversion. The result is an open sewer of rotting filth. We are now coming to grips with the fact that a nation which rebels against God is doomed to un-imaginable behavior. Our children are given condoms in many public schools instead of discipline.
