Quenching the Light of the Gospel

"It is not scientific doubt, not atheism, not pantheism, not agnosticism, that in our day and in this land is likely to quench the light of the gospel. It is a proud, sensuous, selfish, luxurious, church-going, hollow-hearted prosperity."

-- Frederic D. Huntington, Forum magazine, 1890. (cited by Francis Chan in the chapter "Profile of the Lukewarm" in "Crazy Love.")
