How Good Would It Have Continued?

There is a distinction between the Church of God's building and those valuable social and charitable byproducts that are thrown off by it. The latter, for all their origin in spiritual vision, possess in themselves a power of independent survival which the Church ofGod does not have. If we intend to answer man's greatest problem with rice handouts, then we are throwing a drowning man aboard instead of helping him out of the water. A spiritual battle fought with spiritual weapons will produce eternal victories. We must send soldiers into battle with the right weapons and understanding of the enemy's tactics.
