Trying to Get on the Same Side as the World

TRYING TO GET ON THE SAME SIDE AS THE WORLD

The chief danger of the Church today is that it is trying to get on the same side as the world, instead of turning the world upside down. Our Master expects us to accomplish results, even if they bring opposition and conflict. Anything is better than compromise, apathy, and paralysis. God, give to us an intense cry for the old-time power of the Gospel and the Holy Ghost!

--A.B. Simpson (December 15, 1843 – October 29, 1919, Canadian preacher, theologian, author, and founder of the Christian and Missionary Alliance)
