                     [030]  A MESSAGE FROM A POEM – BEAUTY FROM ASHES

This story took place in the years when social drinking was a common thing even among many of the churches.  However, many men of God were beginning to speak out against drinking and taking a stand against it from their pulpits.

                    	I will close with a record of something God did 130 years go in New York City. It illustrates how God has started every harvest time in history, through the concerted prayer of his people. Toward the middle of the last century the glow of earlier religious awakenings had faded.

                    I’ll never forget reading the economist Robert Heilbroner’s walk-through of what it would take to transform the average American home into the typical dwelling of the majority of the world’s inhabitants.  We would have to begin by invading the house of our imaginary American family to strip it of
