Quote for the day

These are evil days. It is the age of rush, of movement, of effort. The old sacred art of contemplation and meditation is almost dead. It is the age when men and women are trying to live even within the Church by dissipating and exciting forms of so called religious services. The old solemn hours of quiet loneliness with God that made the saints of the past are almost unknown. We are carried up and borne forward before we know it on the characteristics of the time. When men and women come to me as they do sometimes and say we need in the Church to catch the spirit of the age and keep level with it, I say in God’s name, No! What we need is to be led by the Spirit of God, and that will send us against the spirit of the age and never along with it. - G. Campbell Morgan, 1900
