An Old-Fashioned House Call

Webster defines optimism as “the belief that good ultimately prevails over evil,” and a pessimist is one who believes that “evil in life outweighs the good.” To believe things on earth are going to get worse before getting better is not pessimism but realism.

Therefore, I guess I would be considered a pessimistic optimist. The one being only temporary but the latter, final and lasting. In other words, I believe this world is cancerous to the core and getting worse. And only by the Great Physician making a personal house call can it be cured.

Politicians and religious leaders, no matter how well-intentioned, who attempt the intricate operation of removing this malignant tumor will end up embarrassed, showing themselves to be physicians without healing power.

Christ’s coming is the only cure-all for the world’s ills.
