Inspired by the life & thought of J. Gresham Machen (1881-1937), defender of Christian orthodoxy and founder of @WestminsterTS and the Orthodox Pres. Church
So it looks like many of the elders who urged charges against Garris are in NYC, and quite a number are affiliated with Redeemer Pres. It’s going to be interesting to see how Keller’s third way children conduct their ministries.
Ligonier Ministries is sending their 100th anniversary edition of Machen's Christianity and Liberalism along with a DVD of Stephen Nichols' series on Machen, for a gift of any amount in July. @Ligonier@DrSteveNichols https://t.co/3Y9dt1yhPN
From every point of view, therefore, the problem in question is the most serious concern of the Church. What is the relation between Christianity and modern culture; may Christianity be maintained in a scientific age?

Let not anyone who thinks that fear of hell should be put out of the mind of unregenerate men ever suppose that he has the slightest understanding of what Jesus came into the world to say and do.
Liberalism regards Him as an Example and Guide; Christianity, as a Savior: liberalism makes Him an example for faith; Christianity, the object of faith.
In trying to remove from Christianity everything that could possibly be objected to in the name of science, in trying to bribe off the enemy by those concessions which the enemy most desires, the apologist has really abandoned what he started out to defend.
“Every really great Christian utterance, it may almost be said, is born in controversy. It is when men have felt compelled to take a stand against error that they have risen to really great heights on the celebration of truth.”
—J. Gresham Machen
