This month's issue reminds us of the insidiousness of Satan's devices that are increasingly trying to blind the eyes and hearts of mankind to God's unchanging truth. Prayer and Bible reading are being removed from many North American schools, and legislation in many countries is protecting the ,"rights" of those who continue to work iniquity. In an age when sports hero role models for young people may become all the more popular for their 4eclaration of sin, and parliaments remove the Name of Jesus Christ from their opening prayers lest some might be offended, when unrepentance and treachery in high places are often castigated only for political advantage, we are the more reminded of the contrast between the righteous and the wicked as seen by David in Psalm 36. Of the wicked:

There is no fear of God before his eyes... The words of his mouth are wickedness and deceit... He does not abhor evil (vv. 1-4 NKJV).

But of some in whom God delighted:

For with You is the fountain of life; In Your light we see light. Oh continue Your lovingkindness to those who know You, and Your righteousness to the upright in heart (vv. 9,10).

Of the first group, verse 12 tells us that they are to be cast down, but of the second, verse 8 relates that they drink from the river of God's pleasures and are abundantly satisfied with the fulness of God's house.

We delight to continue to bring to you the truth as recorded in the Word of God and shared with us all by the articles of competent Bible teachers, that God may continue to be glorified in His Son and that which truly testifies of Him, and readers may continue to be edified as we search the Scriptures to see that such things are so.
