Murray identifes the three problems that Charles Spurgeon saw
in the non-conformist church (that day's equivalent of evangelicals)
of his day:

was a general unwillingness to define doctrinal issues percisely
and what followed was an unwillingness to question the beliefs
of any denomination in the name of Christan charity.
Scriptures

Many
non-conformist pastors had settled for pragmatism rather than
truth.

these articles with an open heart and may God return our churches
to a sure devotion to His Word and His Presence!
