"In short, will the Methodist Church itself be the master of the Bible, sitting in judgement on the Word of God, offering the pretense that Scripture is ever in need of a contemporary correction, or will the Methodist church instead be mastered by Scripture in which revelation will be received as the gracious and remarkable gift that it is?" Kenneth J Collins, The Next Methodism

The Church is like a rescue boat. The rescue boat must be in the sea rescuing the perishing, but the sea must not be in the boat. In the same way the church must be in the world rescuing the perishing, but the world must not be in the church. The tragedy of the modern churches is that: by lowering its standards to allow the unconverted easy access, the church has become flooded and swamped by the world. It is now becoming increasingly difficult to discern any substantial differences between the opinions, moral standards and even conduct of “Christians” and pagans.
