THROUGH THE BIBLE IN THREE YEARS
A man was going on an African Safari. He had hired another man that was purported to be the best guide in the area. He asked the guide, "Is it true that the animals will not bother you if you carry a torch?"
The guide answered, "It depends on how fast you carry it!"

Let's just face it. It's a JUNGLE out there!
In his book, "Our Character Our Future," Alan Keyes tells about a gang shooting in Los Angeles. A certain Wayne Capers was killed by a rival gang while sitting on a bench in Denker Park. However, a stray bullet also killed King Clark, who was seventy-three.
Mr. Clark was sitting in his living room preparing for a Bible study class.
In 1967, the Office of Economic Opportunity (OEO) provided a grant of almost $1 million to work with rival gangs in Chicago on a job training program. Nicolas Lemann reported in his book "The Promised Land" that "in the history of the OEO, there was not grant that was as complete a failure."
Rehabilitation without rejuvination through salvation is an impossibility!
Man is "desperately wicked" (Jeremiah 17:9), and must be changed from the inside out!
The heart of the problem is the problem of the heart!
Let's just face it. It's a JUNGLE out there!
And the only way to change it is to change the creatures. In order to change America, even the problem of gangs, the Gospel of Jesus needs to be preached by Christians.
"Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to EVERY CREATURE" (Mark 16:15).
