Committed to Progress or Truth?
“The Christian in the modern world will be called upon to ‘wake-up’ to the many ways in which he has just gone with the stream of progress. As the world grows more metaphysically mad, and as we see many former friends ‘confessing strange doctrines,’ we will be forced to challenge the validity of a good many assumptions we have long innocently held. But there is no innocence after that moment. After that we are responsible for our decisions. After that moment we find out whether we are committed to progress or to truth.
Chesterton once told us that if we find ourselves on the wrong road, the truly progressive man is the one who turns around first. Unfortunately, too many Christians have refused to live up to their convictions. Now more than ever we need people with the courage to turn around. ...there are some things that simply do not change with the tides of progress, ...there is an orthodoxy in manners, sex, art, business, and government just as much as there is in the creeds and doctrines of the Church.”
