Virgil Michel

"...too long have sincere Christians looked upon their spiritual life as something shup up entirely within themselves and have tried to harden themselves against the evil infulence of the world even while leaving that same world to itself. We must be with Christ or against Him; we must either affect the world in which we live or else the world will affect us."
- The Unread Vision. Keith F. Pecklers, pp. 130-131

...Worship should continue in the streets and the market place, at work and at home. Christian life was to be an unceasing act of worship. When believers failed to live worshipful lives in other situations, they had knowingly or unknwingly accepted the secularist dichotomy of the culture which tended to keep religion separate from the rest of life.
-same book p. 133

*His word comes from the American situation which was governed by materialism, individualism, and secularism.
