Tower of Babel Sermon Warns Against Building Babel Towers
A 1907 sermon compares the biblical Babel builders in Shinar with modern money and power seekers. It argues that dense unity can mask sin and that true safety lies in obedience to God, not in wealth, fame, or independence. The preacher warns against shouting over foreigners, declares Vox Populi is not Vox Dei, and urges faith-led dispersion rather than proud consolidation.
