The powers that be are ordained of God By Rev. B. C. Jennings Almighty God i not a meaning– le title of Deity. It i a de criptive title. God i almighty. The Lord Him elf aid - ' All power i given to me in heaven and in earth" . It ha plea ed The Almigh,ty to dele– gate power and authority to men . Concerning the nation H e aid - "The power that be are ordained of God". He ha placed pa tor and deacon to over ee and instruct the church . H e ha made the hu band head of the wife. Children are re– q ujred to honor their parent . When de ignated and con tituted power i u urped or mi -u ed - the nation, the church or the home a the ca c may be, i in grave danger. The article below by Rev. R. 1. Ru hdoony, Palo Alto, Claif., i very thought ,provoking. How ter– rifyi ng to think that inful man c 1 an use the power of God... Use the dyn– amite of the go pel to ,ave men or the atom bomb to de troy. Unle we u e what God has given to us for good Satan will u e it for his wicked devices. Eventually Anti--Chri t will u urp God-given power and authority and lead mankind into Armageddon. Politician, Preaoher, Pjarent and People - pray daily that you may not abu e or mi -u e your God– given authority.

In the words of TEAM missionary Victor Springer: "What has amazed me ahout the work of PTLwas God's wonderful timing of the campaigns. In China PTL made its great push just before the closing of that great nation, while in Japan and Ko rea the Scripture invasions took place Just after the doorswere thrown wide open to the gospel, whenmany hearts So 1t was 1n Africa: so 1t 1s 1n South America Pray tor these men, and share with them the task of getting God' sWord into the hands and hearts of yet unreached n1ill ions. were ready to hear."
