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
a device for wasting time,
a refuge from the disturbing
voice of conscience,
a scheme to divert attention
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
