Machen’s statement reminds me of one of my favorite Luther quotes (I don’t have a citation):
“If I profess with the loudest voice and clearest exposition every portion of the truth of God except precisely that point which the world and the devil are at that moment attacking, I am not confessing Christ, however boldly I may be professing Christ. Where the battle rages, there the loyalty of the soldier is proved, and to be steady on all the battlefield besides is mere flight and disgrace if he flinches at that point.”
Machen’s warrior children stand in the line of a proud tradition.
