For the professing Church the day of theological
controversy has passed. Ecumenism is now the word on every tongue. Church
leaders appear to have become convinced that the stifling confusion in the
Church can be overcome only by all of us getting together, minimizing our
differences and emphasizing those doctrines on which we all agree. As a result
some of the most important doctrines of Scripture are neither denied nor
affirmed; they are ignored. But little matter, for the objective now is not to
be true to the written Word of God, but to see to it that the Church is
“strong” and commands the world’s respect.
Ecumenism, sad to say, has made significant inroads among
evangelical believers too. All too seldom do men of God stand up to defend by
the Scriptures the truths they believe and proclaim. Theological debate has
given place to the dialogue, in which two individuals or groups sit down
together to discuss their differences and see if there is not some basis for
agreement. This appears generous and objective but too often convictions are
compromised and the truth watered down by such undertakings, with the result
that the Spirit’s power is sacrificed for numerical strength.
No man of God can speak in the power of the Spirit when he
places anything before the Word and Will of God. Nor can the Church ever be
truly united and strong unless she puts God’s Word and Will first and takes her
place in the world as Christ’s embassy on alien territory (See II Cor. 5:20).
