Note: Periodically a book so impacts me that it becomes the primary source of a sermon. That is the case this weekend. I am indebted to The Glory of Aging by Francis W. Grubbs. This book is available through the Christian Law Association, P.O. Box 4010, Seminole, FL 33775-4010 orwww.ChristianLaw.org This is the organization led by David Gibbs, III who spoke at Skyline a few weeks ago. If this print it too small for you to read, you need the book. (Smiling) -Jim

After many years of notable ministry in The Christian and Missionary Alliance, Dr. Francis W. Grubbs �retired� at the close of 1999. The C&MA is deeply indebted to Dr. Grubbs for the numerous ways he has served with distinction. During the last two years Dr. Grubbs led the newly organized Division of Advancement which was charged with the responsibility of telling the story of what God is doing through our movement. As our story is told well we believe needed financial support and future personnel will be provided.

A worldview addresses, not only the field of science, but the philosophical purview of how to identify the four components of reality. The problem here is that Florida’s science standards now force upon students only one of several potential interpetive worldview systems without providing any, philosophical instruction as to how students may evaluate and distinguish between the various worldviews that inform and identify the four components of reality—god, life, matter and time.

But when G&G tromp through the domains of philosophy and physics, the issue must be considered settled, right? Too bad space and energy lost out to their rivals – but at least the process was so severe that all concerned lost their capitalization.(I was going to list some spellos, but it would seem easier to urge our host to dump his OCR output into a word processor with a spell-check option…)Let us all pray that, if/when these standards come to court, Mssr. Gibbs represents the creo parties.
