The fundamental and unshakeable conviction that rules my life
There is a certain fundamental and unshakeable conviction that rules my life. It is this: In spite of all of the badness, foolishness, and injustice in this messed up, Satan-dominated, wicked world of falsehood and lie that I live in there is a God in heaven and there will be final justice in the end — the righteous will get what they deserve and the wicked will get what they deserve. Truth, justice and goodness will win in the end. This is the basic teaching of the Bible and I think it is a basic assumption of all upright, good men. This assumption lies in direct conflict with the basic assumptions of the liberal who believes that there is no God in heaven, no life after this one, no final justice, and that the only hope for man lies in the mind and actions of man himself. My response to this would be that man is inclined toward wickedness and wickedness cannot fix wickedness. Wicked man will never fix this wicked world.
