The Kind of Christians Today's Spiritual Climate Produces

“Evangelicalism as we know it today in its various manifestations does produce some real Christians. We have no wish to question this; we desire rather to assert it unequivocally. But the spiritual climate into which many modern Christians are born does not make for vigorous spiritual growth. Indeed, the whole evangelical world is to a large extent unfavorable to healthy Christianity. And I am not thinking of Modernism either. I mean rather the Bible-believing crowd that bears the name of orthodoxy.”

- A.W. Tozer, excerpted from Of God and Men

Tozer wrote this decades ago; I can only imagine what he would say today.
