The rise of a new religious spirit in recent years is marked by disturbing similarities to that earlier 'revival' under Constantine. Now, as then, a quasi-Christianity is achieving acceptance by compromise. It is dickering with the unregenerate world for acceptance and, as someone said recently, it is offering Christ at bargain prices to win customers. The result is a conglomerate religious mess that cannot but make the reverent Christian sick in his heart.
With the above words A. W. Tozer basically echoed St. Paul's call for Christians to be non-conformists. We are not to conform to the world but be transformers of it. We are to be sick at heart (even stomach) with the state of things today. Even within the Church!
