Never under-estimate the profound anti-Christian assumptions of secularity; Never have evangelicals had higher, sharper views of the authority of scripture, but never has evangelical behavior been more chaotic and permissive than it is today…

But when a Church deliberately marries itself to the spirit of the age, when it sets itself the task not of redeeming but mirroring its time, it has nothing left to say that anyone needs to hear. Throw in the towel.

A friend in Slovakia once told me that only three weeks after the Berlin wall came down, for the first time in his life he saw pornography sold in the street. Was the enhanced freedom an unmitigated "good" thing? I'm not denying it was good in many ways, but some of us have given "freedom" such an iconic value that we fail to see how, in the name of freedom, we may become slaves to sin. Most of us are thankful to God that we live in a democracy. But I have met Christians who live in parts of the world under one form or another of tyranny who are much less daunted by the violent "beast out of the sea" that they face than by the "beast out of the earth," the danger of deceptive teaching and materialism, that we face in the West: they pray for us that we will escape the tyranny of the seduction of easy, triumphalism, and materialism.
