A Different Value System—A Different Calling! by Rev. Paul Zabel The world's value system can be summed up in one phrase: "The more you have, the better off you are!" This statement is true to a point. It is good to have more, if what we have is beneficial. We can apply this statement to, say...cavities – and find it to be false.
