By LEWIS LLEWELLYN
“God is strictly nonsense
in the popular mind today,”
according to Dr. Eugene
Carson Blake, general secre
tary of the World Council of
Churches, speaking recently,
at a meeting of world
church leaders.
This idea was immediately
challenged by Dr. Nathan
M. Pusey, president of Har
vard University. He won
dered aloud whether this
was “really true.”
Dr. Blake went on to say
that, though modern man
does not accept the idea of
a God such as is presented
in the Bible, the church must
nevertheless continue to
hold and teach this basic
doctrine.
“Foolishness”
The words of the noted
church leader may seem
shocking, but the Bible says
something similar when it
declares “the natural man
receiveth not the things of
the Spirit of God, for they
are foolishness unto him.”
But is it true that modern
man considers the idea of
God “nonsense”? Or is it
rather that, while he admits
the reality and power of
God, he refuses to live in ac
, cordance with God’s will,
choosing to walk in his own
way, in spite of the warning
that “there is away that
> seemeth right unto a man.
but the end thereof are the
ways of death”?
Position Is Questioned
Some of the younger
churchmen at the meeting
also questioned the general
secretary’s doctrinal posi
tion. However, their ques
tion was whether the church
should hold to the belief in
a God Who is primarily in
terested in the conversion of
individuals, rather than the
radical social program which
they favor.
Some of them consider
that the work of the church
is to change society. They
are not content to invite in
dividual people to the Savior
Who is able to free them
from the guilt and power of
sin.
To many of us, the an
swer to the question is clear.
Society will be effectively
changed for the better only
as the men who make up the
society are changed.
Personal Decision
Jesus’ appeal has always
been to the individual. While
His invitation is general
“Come unto Me, all ye that
labor and are heavyladen”
the response must be indi
vidual. You and I must per
sonally answer His call.
Even if some people do
consider the idea of God
“strictly nonsense” this does
not alter the reality of God.
Nor does it diminish the
importance of our personal
responsibility to walk in the
way in which He leads
