Inability to distinguish differences in doctrine

Thousands will crowd to hear a new voice and a new doctrine without considering for a moment whether what they hear is true. Inability to distinguish differences in doctrine is spreading far and wide, and so long as the preacher is “clever” and “earnest”, hundreds seem to think that it must be all right, and call you dreadfully “narrow and uncharitable” if you hint that he is unsound!
