Is the church, or Christianity, a movement or a fashion?:

It was not a Manichean movement because it was not a movement at all. It was not an official fashion because it was not a fashion at all. It was something that could coincide with movements and fashions, could control them and could survive them.

-G.K. Chesterton, The Everlasting Man, p. 229

Thank God the church will survive the movements and fashions of the age. It is reminiscent of the words of C.H. Spurgeon,

He who marries today’s fashion is tomorrow’s widow.
