"Be Transformed By The Renewing Of Your Mind!"

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
