The dependable, unchangeable course of nature enables man to live, and to inhabit and subdue the earth. Just think how our lives would be changed if the world did not exhibit its unchangeable nature. We could not exist if our universe did not have integrity. But we live in a troubled world. Ours is a world of wars, hunger and starvation, hatred, conflict and strife.
Innocent people shed blood in most parts of the world daily.
Our news media daily publish reports on international intrigue, border disputes, religious fanaticism, and deep seated hostilities. Even our own neighborhoods exhibit a lack of integrity today, evidenced by rising atheism, dishonesty, alcohol and drug use, sexual promiscuity, materialism, and violent behaviors. Since Adam and Eve relinquished the integrity they were instilled with by God for the sinful dishonesty offered by Satan, man has struggled with sin and death. Since the fall of Adam and Eve, every age has seen man forsake God, the embodiment of integrity, and turn to the father of all lies and every form of evil. Few men on the face of the earth exhibit the nature of integrity that God originally intended.
