The Failings of Secularism

The remedy for the shortcomings and sins of Christian peoples is surely not to substitute
secularism for godliness, human vagaries for divine truth, man-made expedients for a God-given standard of right and wrong. This is God’s world and if we are to play a man’s part in it, we must
first get down on our knees and with humble hearts acknowledge God’s place in His world. This, secularism does not do.
