Machen on the Church
Filed Under The Church
I’m on a quoting kick right now. If anyone would like to suggest a topic or series they would like me to blog on, feel free to do it below. Until then, content yourself with the final paragraph from J. Gresham Machen’s, Christianity and Liberalism. He has just finished proving that liberalism, by definition, undermines and is undermining the church.
Is there no refuge from strife? Is there no place of refreshing where a man can prepare for the battle of life? Is there no place where two or three can gather in Jesus’ name, to forget for the moment all those things that divide nation from nation and race from race, to forget human pride, to forget the passions of war, to forget the puzzling problems of industrial strife, and to unite in overflowing gratitude at the foot of the Cross? If there be such a place, then that is the house of God and that the the threshold of heaven. And from under the threshold of that house will go forth a river that will revive the world.
