Is the World Getting Better?

A girl with two dogs
“There is one great truth to be borne in mind if the individual wishes to evaluate correctly the lessons history teaches concerning world progress: All the intellectual, political, scientific, and literary awakenings of the past have been good, and they have improved man’s lot to a certain point, but because they have not been accompanied by spiritual upsurges of the same magnitude, no lasting good has been accomplished. Outside of Christ, God’s choicest gifts and man’s greatest achievements turn to chaos in his hands, and the things that might have done the most good become the most destructive.”

—“Is the World Getting Better?”
by Walter W. Fordham, Message, July 1953
