“It is important for the Christian not only to read the news-papers and to understand something of what is happening in the world, but to understand the significance of events. There are, in our time, grave dangers confronting the church and, unless she is careful, like Israel of old she may enter into political alliances to try to stave off the very thing which God has ordained. It is essential that the church should not view things with a political eye, but learn to interpret events spiritually and to understand them in the light of God’s instructions to her. What to the natural person is utterly abhorrent, and even disastrous, may be the very thing God is using to chastise us and to restore us to a right relationship to himself.” M. L. Jones in the 1950s, as sited Isaac Bennett, https://isaacbennettministries.com/articles/
