Noted Evangelist On Idolatry And Christ's Preeminence
The piece cites Paul in Athens stirred by idolatry and argues Christians should push for Christ's preeminence amid modern discord. It reflects Bob Jones College rhetoric on faith, sacrifice, and world rejection, contrasting Christmas and Easter emphasis with divine kingship. A vivid scene of a draft-board card and a sailor brother frames the audience context.
