In June 1929, on what would 17 years later be my college campus, a man named Gresham Machen spoke the following words, “It is a serious step in these days, even from the worldly point of view, to become a Christian…The man (or woman) who today enters upon the Christian life is enlisting in a warfare against the whole current of the age.” He went on to suggest that unfortunately the effect most Christians have on anti-Christian forces is equivalent to a chip that floats with the stream rather than a dam built to fight against it.

He also made a rather startling suggestion, to not so much study the scriptures as to just read them. And by so doing allow “the stupendous figure of Jesus” to convince you that the pathway to progress leads to the feet of this Master Teacher and Son of God.

It is 80 years later and still too often Christian trumpets do not blare. Indeed, too often, they hardly toot. We suffer from what some have called “a reduced and inconsistent Christianity.” (Anonymous)

In C. S. Lewis’ book The Screwtape Letters, the big devil advises the little devil on earth what to do and tells him, “Let Christians believe anything they want. Just make sure they don’t do anything about it.” And it was good advice to the little devil, wasn’t it? For if too many take the attitude after all a man must live, must he not? what happens to the moral and spiritual backbone of this country?
