PREFACE:
This booklet contains, in printed form, the three
speeches that were given in January 2007 at the Winter Conference sponsored by
the Evangelism Committee of the First Protestant Reformed Church of Holland,
MI. The theme for this conference was
“The Antithesis: Godly Living in Ungodly Times.”
This topic is relevant in light of the fact that the
term itself (“antithesis”) has been largely forgotten. In addition to this, the important truth that
the term expresses, as well as the practical application of it to the Christian
life, is often denied, and even opposed, in this age of tolerance and
ecumenism. For these reasons we felt it
beneficial to treat this subject.
We express our appreciation to the three speakers for
their timely lectures, which set forth very clearly the calling of God’s people
as they live in the midst of a world that increases daily in wickedness.
It is our hope and prayer that God may be pleased to
use this booklet as a means to keep us steadfast in the faith and in our walk
of life. May His Word in I
John 2:15-17 be our guide:
“Love not the world, neither the things that are in
the world. If any man love the world,
the love of the Father is not in him.
For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the
eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. And the world passeth away, and the lust
thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.”
