Test Your Witness

Put your finger on any prosperous page in the church's history and I will find a little marginal note reading thus: "In this age men could readily see where the church began and where the world ended." Never were there good times when the church and world were joined in marriage. The more the church is different from the world in her acts and in her maxims, the more true her testimony for Christ, and the more potent is her witness against sin. I believe that one reason why the church at this present moment has so little influence over the world is because the world has so much influence over the church. Sovereign Grace, Winter 2002, p. 4-5
