MILD CASE OF CHRISTIANITY
Chad Walsh wrote an intriguing book entitled Early Christians of the Twenty-first Century, in which he placed a burr in my mental saddle with these words: “Millions of Christians live in a sentimental haze of vague piety, with soft organ music trembling in the lovely light from stained glass windows. Their religion is a pleasant thing of emotional quivers, divorced from the will, divorced from the intellect and demanding little except lip service to a few harmless platitudes. I suspect that Satan has called off his attempt to convert people to agnosticism. After all, if a man travels far enough away from Christianity, he is liable to see it in perspective and decide that it is true. It is much safer, from Satan’s point of view, to vaccinate a man with a mild case of Christianity so as to protect him from the real disease.” From Howard Hendricks, Battle of the Gods
