The Good News for Darwin

The message of the Early Church has been effective in every generation. Men are eager to hear the transforming good news concerning Christ proclaimed with the authority of God's Word.

Charles Darwin once admitted he was in error concerning the condition of man. After a scientific expedition to Tierra del Fuego he wrote that the inhabitants of the island were hopelessly savage. Then something happened to those people. Missionaries took the gospel to them. Later Darwin revisited the island and noted the change. He wrote in his diary, "It was without exception the most interesting spectacle I have ever beheld. I could not have believed how wide was the difference between savage and civilized man ....The success of the missionaries is most wonderful and charms me....The march of improvement consequent on the introduction of Christianity throughout the South Seas probably stands by itself in the record of history."

Mind Mangement

A very important principle in life is this : "You become what you think about most of the time". This is a distillation of the best in Success Philosophy. This truth is always at work. You can learn a lot of information, or get multiple degrees,but you will be ruled by your dominant thoughts. This is borne out in the Bible too. Jesus taught the power of words and thoughts. The Apostle Paul wrote about thinking on good things and casting down wrong thoughts. Lets keep our mind on things above !
