Whose World Is It?
The next time anyone tells you, “It’s a man’s world,” or any kind of world other than God’s world, set him straight. Our world’s problems are due to such thinking.

Such thinking is basic to man’s original sin, his desire to make God’s creation over into man’s world, in which man is his own god.
