“Let us not fear the opposition of men; every great movement in the Church from Paul down to modern times has been criticized on the ground that it promoted scensoriousness and intolerance and disputing. Of course the gospel of Christ, in a world of sin and doubt will cause disputing; and if does not cause disputing and arrouse bitter opposition, that is a fairly sure sign that it is not being faithfully proclaimed.” IfsMenWorldDoeHas BeensCoursesCausesChristChurchSinDoubtModernMovementBitterOppositionIntoleranceBeing FaithfulModern Times Author:John Gresham Machen
“Just supposing for the sake of the argument that there is a being of such a kind as that He may with any propriety be called "God", it does seem antecedently very improbable that weak and limited creatures of a day, such as we are, should discover Him by our own efforts.... who could be discovered in that way would hardly be worth discovering. I think we ought to stick to that principle rather firmly. I think we ought to be rather sure that we cannot know God unless God has been pleased to reveal Himself to us.” ThinkingKnowsWayShouldKindMayDoeHas BeensSeemsEffortPrinciplesOughtCreaturesArgumentWeakSticksSakeDiscoveringKnowing GodImprobableProprietySupposing Author:John Gresham Machen
“What I need first of all is not exhortation, but a gospel, not directions for saving myself but knowledge of how God has saved me. Have you any good news? That is the question that I ask of you. I know your exhortations will not help me. But if anything has been done to save me, will you not tell me the facts?” IfsKnowsNeedsFirstsHas BeensDoneFactsHelpingAsksNewsSavedSavingHelp MeGood NewsSave Me Book:The Christian faith in the modern world Source: The Christian faith in the modern world
