We Have Had Enough Religion
Thursday, March 12, 2009 at 11:15PM From Time Magazine, circa 1947 (via)
The message of Calvinism to modern man is that he must repent from his idolatry, which is his greatest and root sin. His idolatry, in that he has made a God of himself and made a problem of the living God of the Scriptures...
We have had enough religion, religious philosophy and religious psychology. It is time we again found the living God and began to build the theological temple. . . .
Let theology be theology! We have made everything of it except just that... Somehow modern theology will have to find the road back to the God of the Scriptures.

My, how times have changed. NOT! I remember reading a letter from a man who moaning about how his children no longer show any respect for their elders, how lazy they are, and how undisciplined they are becoming, among other things. I thought at first the letter had been written recently, but it was actually from the early 20th century!
