Drifting

By Editor

Drifting.—The trend in theology is well characterized (tho not so meant) by the Independent the "Drift of Religious Thought." In speaking of the late Congregational International Council, it notes that the council was marked by "the almost complete victory of liberal theology." Again: "This recognized and pronounced liberalism indicates a general drift, for the Congregational Churches have always been in the van of religious thought of the country." It is a sad place to be in the van of a "drift." The current in this world is downward. Satan is working with mighty power. The enemy has come in "like a flood." God's Word is against that current. To drift is to go from God. The true child of God is climbing, not drifting.
