The Words of the Chang Family |
We have been fed up with a lot of conferences, fruitless discussions and compromises, and been tired of hearing dogmatic criticism, so not any other time may more urgently covet prophet than now.
When and where shall we find such a new prophet as can drive mannerism and diffidence out of current religious world?
It has been once said that there should be man for God and not God for man, but nowadays there are so many who insist upon man for God as well as God for man that may surely be by-product of materialism, rationalism and humanism. Be that as it may, one should serve God in sincerity and truth and it may be, in a sense, a repentance of sin. In religious viewpoint, there may not be true service unless it is observed in truth and sincerity.
The current religious world seems to be far from the collective sense of sin and redemption. May it be really possible for any denomination or sect to remain disconnected with perilous and disastrous national situation? A religion can and should find its starting point in taking care of neighbors. This is the reason why we persist on the second reformation.
