H. Spurgeon (1834 – 1892)

An excerpt from an article titled: CHRISTENDOM . . . the word “Christendom . . . is a terrible word. It brings before us, at once, that vast mass of baptized profession which calls itself the church of God, but is not, which calls itself Christianity, but is not. Christendom is dark and a dreadful anomaly. It is neither one thing nor the other. It is not “the Jew or the Gentile, or the church of God.” . . . It is the corruption of the very best thing, and therefore, the very worst of corruption. . . . True, it is, blessed by God, there are a few names even in Christendom, who, through grace, have not defiled their garments. . . . . But as to the mass of Christian profession to which the term Christendom applies, nothing can be more appalling, whether we think of its present condition or its future destiny. We doubt if Christians generally have anything like an adequate sense of the true character and inevitable doom of that which surrounds them. – C. H. Macintosh (1820 – 1896)
