Note: Carnal weapons do not provide security for individuals or nations. Our bombs might frighten some of our enemies, but they don’t scare off earthquakes or volcanoes. Our Coast Guard might be able to drive back a few enemy planes, but they cannot drive back hurricanes or tornadoes. Perhaps our armed forces have postponed WWIII, but they have not postponed disasters, pestilences, and tragedies of all descriptions in this country and abroad. The God of Heaven is the only source from which mankind can obtain true security (protection, safety, certainty, freedom from worry).
