Here is a key to Christian conduct and belief in times like these -- times when we are seeing the disintegration of the church and of moral standards, the destruction of America, the dynamics of "trendism," and the dangers of departed power.

Vance Havner issues a call to Christians, clear and loud, for real repentance, for confession and forsaking of sin, for separation from the world, for submission to the Lordship of Christ and the filling of the Holy Spirit.

His challenging summons is for daring, fearless prophets who will call the nation to repentance and for church members who will stand up and be counted with Jesus Christ. Then and only then will there be any use for missions, stewardship programs or social involvement.

This fiery admonition concludes with a concise statement of what one can believe in times like these and of the author's own unequivocable belief in the Bible as the Word of God.
