ASHAMED OF JESUS? Under the heading, ‘‘Is Christian F a ith W orth Defend ing ?” th e editor of The W estern Recorder (Southern Bap tist) presents a challenge to Bible-loving Christians th a t should lead all to self-exam ination: “To our thinking, the most astu te and th e most effective job th a t was done by the enemies of tru e faith was th e public discredit which they succeeded in throw ing upon doctrinal Christianity, and upon th a t fine honesty and de votion which led exactly the best men and women in the nation to come to the defense of revealed faith against the pretentious boasting of false philosophy. Take a look a t the present public attitude. Consider th e average daily paper, popular magazine or ‘n ational’ weekly. Politics, economics, social life, agriculture, banking, railroading— IS anything th a t touches th is present life and its in terests is considered a subject on which it is fit for men to have and express positive convictions, regardless of agreement or disagreement. But these same voices of public opinion, so soon as it is a m a tte r of m an’e sp iritu al life and his etern al interests, w ith wonderful unanim ity, cry down all definite convictions as narrow , and exalt as praise worthy latitud inarian ism and inv erterb rate sentimentalism , instead o f an Honest and concerted effort to understand what historic Christianity is, and to live up to it and teach it to others. Where the cross of the redeem ing Christ is in question, avoid advocacy; where worldly in terests are involved, stand for your opinions! T raito rou s!” The Christian S tandard adds: “How long will obedient believers by th e ir silence and indifference, when the Christ him self is assailed and the Scriptures th a t divinely revealed him are to rn to shreds, refuge to confess his name? If we are no t ashamed of him, if we count not more th e u n ju st criticism of the worldly than our loyalty to him, we shall arouse ourselves from our lethargy, and, standing four-square to every wind of doubt, proclaim the precious gospel as alone th e power of God unto salvation.” Our Lord adds, “Whosoever shall deny me before men, him shall I deny before my F ath e r who is in heaven.” The test of a loyal h ea rt is its attitu d e and action in th e time of storm and attack. The salvation by Christ is very vigorously and persistently attacked. “Who is on the Lord’s side?” D O N ’T F O R G E T ! that the cover pages contain matters of special interest to You!
