The true Church is more and more assembling outside the visible Church, but has her problems just the same. With the doctrine of theology comes the rise of dubious religious and psychological experiments. “Charismata” is the great word. Let us all speak in tongues and the millennium will have arrived! Alas, it is now quite plain to be seen that the more charismata, the less theological exposition, and the weaker theology becomes the more cry for charismata is heard. There is no remedy for the present evangelical dilemma but a revival of worship and of the preaching of the Word. No, it will not mean full churches and popular pulpits. All that passed with the passing of the age of Spurgeon. Mr. Spurgeon saw the tokens of coming disaster but did not live to see the development. He would not have believed the present situation could have developed, but we, the present members of the true Church of Christ (by whatever other name we may be distinguished) have to live with the consequences of atheistic unbelief now come to full fruition. What is the message of Laodicea for today? It is surely that great verse, Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If any man hear my voice and open the door I will come in to him and sup with him and he with me. - Rev. 3:21.
