Possibly you are right. IMHO. At least, it seems to me…

…

Well, really, you are right. No equivocating about it.

We are the lesser for not having such men in our day. As I have sometimes thought of them in this way, the lions of Fundamentalism have died off. Heaven forbid if anyone should be as vocal as these men were. There has been a softening of the voice of Fundamentalism and the results that we have are not good. The line between Fundamentalism and Evangelicalism is so fuzzy, it’s almost indiscernible in some places, especially in the younger crowd. Popularity looks to reign as the way in which men do ministry rather than obedience to the Word of God regardless of what others may think.
