PLAN ON ATTENDING! Monkey Business by Warren W. Wiersbe Charles Darwin 's Origin of Species hit the world Jike an atomic bomb. Here was a book that "proved" that man evolved from lower anima]s and therefore was not created by Almighty God. Shortly after the book was pub– lished , one of Darwin's nieces asked the scientist a quest ion. "But, Uncle," she said , "if you tell people that they have come from monkeys, won,t they begin to live like rnonkeys?" History has given that intelligent young lady the answer: Yes, they have started living like monkeys! And it's getting worse all the time. Pity the poor educator who teaches students that they are basically ani– mals, yet he expects them to act like angels! Educators today want our children and young people to prac– tice Christian mora]ity, but they refuse to accept the Christian principles that govern this morality. Th~y. want th,e fruits without roots, and 1t JUSt won t work. Several years ago, I conducted a Distinctively Baptistic ... that's the character of our literature! Presenting the great fundamental doctrines of Scriptur~ to. the pupil in language that he can understand. This B,bl• centered 1 pupil-related literature that has the proper approach to the Scriptures can be ordered today from Regular Baptist Press. Send for free sample packet. Regular Baptist Press 1800 Oakton Boulevard e Des Plaines, Ill. 60018 HE OHIO INDEPENDENT BAPTIST week of Bible teaching at a fine Christian school. About the middle of the week I encountered an unsaved fellow on campus and chatted with him. When I discovered he was not a professing Christian, I asked him the obvious question: why was he attend– ing a Christian school ? "Oh, that's easy!" he replied . "I like it here . I can leave my locker open and nobody stea ls anything. I can put my books down and know they'll be there when I come back .' ' He was enjoying the results of Chris· tian belief, but he himself would not accept the doctrines that produced those results. To expect young people to respect authority when we teach them all men are animals is foolish. Authority does not rule in the jungle! There it is " fang, tooth and claw-survival of the fittest. ' If we are animals, then there can be no morality or authority. "Eat, drink, and be merry, for tomorrow we die.' ' That's another way of saying what the Hippies are saying today: ' 'Do your own thing as long as you can, because there may not be a to– morrow." The Christian knows that man was created, not evolved; that he wa created in God's i,nage, and therefore has a n1oral re ponsibility to God. He knows that we can ne~er enjoy the fruit of Christianity unless we have the root , and we cannot have the root unles we plant the seed of the Word in heart . That' why the preaching and teaching of God' Word i the mo t important thing we can do today. We must win a n1any as we can to Christ while there i yet tin1c.
