H. Richard Niebuhr (1894-1962) said this of liberalism, "a God without wrath, brought men without sin, into a kingdom without judgment, through the ministrations of a Christ without a Cross." It seems that what was once true of liberalism, can now be said of much of modern day evangelicalism.

Thanks, for the thoughts here,
