  1. Francis A. Schaeffer _ How Should We Then Live? The

    Edward Gibbon {1737-1794} in his said that the following five attributes marked Rome at its end: first, a mounting love of show and luxury {that is, affluence}; second, a widening gap between the very rich and the very poor {this could be among countries in the family of nations as well as in a single nation}; third, an obsession with sex; fourth, freakishness in the arts, masquerading as originality, and enthusiasms pretending to be creativity; fifth, an increased desire to live off the state. It all sounds so familiar. We have come a long road since our first chapter, and we are back in Rome.
