The Measure of a Man: being sober-minded 2

One more random note from Getz, p. 46.

In responding to a questioner who was concerned about the well-being of America--to the point of saying, "Oh, God wouldn't allow (really bad things) to happen to America, would he?"--Getz responded, "Our hope should not be based on how well things are going in our society. According to Scriptures, we are just strangers passing through (1 Pet. 2:11). . . . this world is not our true home."

AMEN and AMEN!
