The brilliance of the gospel light is
dimmed by error. The clearness of the testimony is spoiled when doubtful voices
are scattered among the people, and those who ought to preach the truth, the
whole truth, and nothing but the truth, are telling out for doctrines the
imaginations of men, and the inventions of the age.
Instead of revelation, we have
philosophy, falsely so-called; instead of divine infallibility, we have
surmises and larger hopes. The gospel of Jesus Christ, which is the same
yesterday, to-day, and for ever, is taught as the production of progress, a growth,
a thing to be amended and corrected year by year. It is an ill day, both for
the church and the world, when the trumpet does not give a certain sound; for
who shall prepare himself for the battle?
Charles
Spurgeon
