The Church Is Something Beautiful

The Central Problem Of Our Age Is Not Liberalism Or Modernism, Nor The Old Roman Catholicism Or The New Roman Catholicism, Nor The Threat Of Communism, Nor Even The Threat Of Rationalism And The Monolithic Consensus Which Surrounds Us. All These Are Dangerous But Not The Primary Threat. The Real Problem Is This: The Church Of The Lord Jesus Christ, Individually Corporately, Tending To Do The Lord’s Work In The Power Of The Flesh Rather Than Of The Spirit. The Central Problem Is Always In The Midst Of The People Of God, Not In The Circumstances Surrounding Them.

Eve Doubted God, And I As A Child Of God Am Now To Be Exactly The Opposite: I Am To Believe Him. Eve Doubted, And Mankind In Revolt Doubts God. To Believe Him, Not Just When I Accept Christ As Savior, But Every Moment, One Moment At A Time: This Is The Christian Life, And This Is True Spirituality.

Tell Me What The World Is Saying Today, And I'll Tell You What The Church Will Be Saying In Seven Years.
