It is difficult to distinguish him from the unconverted man!

(A.W. Tozer)

"Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind!" Romans 12:2

For centuries the Church has stood solidly against worldly entertainment, recognizing it for what it was:
  a device for wasting time,
  a refuge from the disturbing voice of conscience,
  a scheme to divert attention from moral accountability.
For this she got herself abused roundly by the ungodly. But of late she has become tired of the abuse, and has given up the struggle. She appears to have decided that if she cannot conquer the great god 'Entertainment' she may as well join forces with him and make what use she can of his powers.

The average church member lives a life so worldly and careless, that it is difficult to distinguish him from the unconverted man!


"The world had absorbed the Church, and the church is content that it should be so!" Horatius Bonar
