Christianity Quote by Soong-Chan Rah
““The population dominance of Western Christianity has already come to an end. Western cultural captivity and dominance as an epoch of church history is also coming to an end. But as Western Christians wring their hands over the implosion of modern, Enlightenment Christianity and the subsequent decline of European and Euro-American Christianity, is it more appropriate to acknowledge the justness of God’s sovereign judgment of unjust systems? Should we embrace this moment as God’s sovereign will?””
