We’ve looked at the primary, basic threat and that is forsaking the Lord as our Wonderful Counselor. If we were not doing that, if we were not turning away from Him, if we were not indicating that we don’t think He’s enough, that He’s not wonderful enough, we wouldn’t have to worry about this second major threat, because the second major threat is turning to worldly counsel. If we felt the Lord was the Wonderful Counselor we would not be interested in the counsel of the world. But we have been turning, just like Israel turned from their fountain of living waters, we’ve been turning from our Wonderful Counselor, forsaking Him, drifting from Him, neglecting Him and His Word, underestimating Him and His Word. And of course that leads people to the second thing: turning to worldly counsel, allowing the infiltration of worldly wisdom of psychological theory and even the things that spawn like the twelve-step self-help movement and self-help literature and all of that, just to come rolling into the church.

It will be published at about 5-weekly inter­ vals, and future contributors include John Godrich, Doctor H. R, Rookmaaker, Derek Coller, Henry Vestine as well as the writers in this i ssue. Our ’B.A.S.' activities will carry on as before, in conjunction with this magazine. Ideas for improving our service are still very welcome and w ill receive our closest attention. We hope to salvage many of the fine, ideas laid down by Max Vreede's original society, and further details will be published here. We need good feature articles, discographies, criticism s and reviews. News of that's happening blueswise your way. Anything topical constructive and interesting. Don’t be lazy. Write it. Let us know what you like, and, more important, what you don’t. Your opinions matter. If you don't write, we don’t know.
