“More corrupt than the dark days before Luther; more impotently intellectual than during the heyday of Calvinism; more financially perverted than the days that caused John the Baptist to explode; more intoxicated with the drive for spiritual power than any age, yet exercising that outward power with less internal transformation than anyone since King Saul; enamored with the gifts, yet hardly knowing the Giver, our age has produced the most commercial, materialistic, fad-oriented people ever to claim His name.”
From epilogue to Experiencing the Depths of Jesus Christ: One of the Greatest Christian Writings of All Time by Jeanne Guyon (1648-1717) reprinted in 1975, 150.
