Contemporary Thought

A few words from my reading this morning ...
"I am getting tired of the perpetual burning of incense to the modern mind, this eager fitful anxiety to accommodate faith's declarations, and the whole Biblical revelation to the modern thinking." - G Campbell Morgan.
And a few of my own words ...
Contemporary thought cannot be characterized as having reached a higher than previous level of understanding or wisdom. Modern thinking is simply the prevailing present mindset.
The newest opinion that screams the loudest is identified as modern thinking and accepted as the new high water mark of truth.
Contemporary thought may warrant my awareness but never capture my focus. I will hold to the unchanging eternal truth of the principles and promises of the Word of God. His Word has been, still is, and always will be, absolute truth for which there can be no apology, and with which there can be no compromise, and about which there can be no doubt!
