MISSING DIMENSION IN KNOWLEDGE

A former Educator MR. H. W. ARMSTRONG

HIS WISE INSIGHT INTO MANY OF TODAYS PROBLEMS.

There exist, overall, TWO BASIC WAYS of life -- two divergent philosopies.  They travel in opposit directions. I state them very simply:  ONE IS THE WAY OF GIVE -- THE OTHER OF GET.

More specifically, the one is the way of humility, and outgoing concern for others equal to self- concern.  It is the way of cooperation, serving, helping, sharing;  of consideration, patience and kindness.  MORE IMPORTANT, it is also the way of obedience to, reliance on, and worship solely toward GOD. IT IS THE GOD-CENTERED WAY, OF LOVE TOWARD GOD AND LOVE TOWARD NEIGHBORER.

The opposite is the SELF-CENTERED  way of vanity, lust and greed; of competition and strife;  jealousy, and unconcerned for the welefare of others.

FEW REALIZE THIS VITAL FACT:  The "GIVE" way is actually an invisible, yet inexorible, SPIRITUAL LAW IN MOTION. IT IS SUMMARIZED IN PRINCIPLE, BY THE TEN COMMANDMENTS.

There is a cause for every effect.

 Proverbs 13:20. HE THAT WALKS WITH WISE MEN SHALL BE WISE: but a companion of fools shall be destroyed.   Matthew  3:34 -- 39. WHEREFORE I SEND UNTO YOU  PROPHETS, and  WISE MEN,  and SCRIBES: some of them  you shall kill  and crucify; and some of them shall you scourge in your synagogues, and persecute them from city to city.
