  • CIVIL GOVERNMENT. Its Origin, Mission, and Destiny
    CIVIL GOVERNMENT. Its Origin, Mission, and Destiny, - AND THE - Christian's Relation To It. BY D. LIPSCOMB. NASHVILLE, TENN.: McQUIDDY PRINTING CO., 1913. Contents: Preface Chapter 2 Chapter 3 Chapter 4 iii Preface The writer of the following pages was early in life impressed with the idea that God as the Creator, and preserver of the world, was its only rightful law-maker and ruler. And that all the evil that afflicted humanity and the world, had arisen from a failure on the part of man to whom the rule of the earth had been committed by God, to maintain in its purity and sovereignty the authority and dominion of God as the only rule of this world. From the Bible he learned man had sinned against God, that an element of discord and confusion had hence entered into the world, and the world was out of harmonious relations with God and the universe. This being true, it early occurred to his mind, that the one sure and sovereign remedy for these evils, was the absolute submission to God on the part of man, and a restoration of his authority and rule in all the domains of the world. In the study of the Bible, he saw the one purpose of God, as set forth in that book, was to bring man back under his own rule and government so to re-establish his authority and rule on earth, that God's will "shall be done on earth as it is in Heaven." To this end, man's duty is to learn the will of God, and trustingly do that will, leaving results and events with God.

Practicing lawyers, in increasingly large numbers, are reporting being strongly disillusioned and profoundly wearied by their chosen profession.' More and more lawyers are seeking to escape the practice, with its perceived deadly cycle of stress and overwork. Perhaps as significantly, lawyers are not sure that their life's work has any lasting meaning to anyone. They worry that, rather than being regarded by their clients and the broader society as trusted and wise advisors or champions of justice, they are merely cogs in a wheel-technicians or hired guns in enterprises or contests they do not understand or care about.

Remission of sins with like blessings of salvation is received before baptism. 2. Baptism to the penitent believer is for (in order to) the pardon of his past sins. 3. The Scriptures teach that man is so depraved in mind and heart that he is unable without a direct enabling power of the Holy Spirit to obey the Gospel of the Sou of God. The debate began May 27, 1889, and was continued for sixteen nights. Elders Geo. A. Lofton and David Lipscomb presided as moderators. J. B. MOODY, J. A. HARDING. J. B.

    INFORMATION TO USERS This reproduction was made from a copy of a document sent to us for microfilming. While the most advanced technology has been used to photograph and reproduce this document, the quality of the reproduction is heavily dependent upon the quality of the material submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help clarify markings or notations which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or “target” for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is “Missing Page(s)”. If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting through an image and duplicating adjacent pages to assure complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a round black mark, it is an indication of either blurred copy because of movement during exposure, duplicate copy, or copyrighted materials that should not have been filmed. For blurred pages, a good image of the page can be found in the adjacent frame. If copyrighted materials were deleted, a target note will appear listing the pages in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., is part of the material being photographed, a definite method of “sectioning” the material has been followed. It is customary to begin filming at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue from left to right in equal sections with small overlaps. If necessary, sectioning is continued again—beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete.
