What They Said

“Virtually all the modern world’s ills come down to this: even the state was claiming authority, that was not the state’s or was abdicating authority where it had legitimate authority. All the ills of the modern world comes down to this: the church has not had the background (some have this as "backbone") to stand against the state. The family has been left unprotected and parental prerogatives has been stolen so that society as God had intended it is no longer able to function under the Lordship of Christ and therefore, new principles and new ideas and new authorities and new sovereignties and new messiahs had been raised up in Christ’s stead.”
