Free Presbyterianism Sitting On The Fence Of Compromise

Free Presbyterianism Sitting On the Fence of Compromise



Recently, two very colourful birds of prey, have publicly taken their perch on the fence of compromise; in perfect harmony they are sounding out the anthem of compromise to the tune of betrayal. These song birds have evidently changed their tune; in times past they sang from the hymn sheet of scriptural separation, now they have forgotten that song, and replaced it with a political piece, entitled, ‘don’t do as I do, but do as I say’.


Revs, Paisley senior and McCrea, with others, have torn Free Presbyterianism away from its scriptural roots of separation and carried it to the place of political and spiritual compromise; on the one hand, they preached separation, while on the other, they have advocated compromise. Maybe, Free Presbyterianism has found no difficulty on the comfortable perch of compromise, from the signing of the Belfast agreement until now; but when the winds of decision begin to blow through the ranks of God’s people in Ulster, it could find itself unseated.


Rev Mervyn Cotton (Heb13:6)
