The Church In the Entertainment Business


The Church of God has gone into the entertainment business!  People must be amused, and as the church needs the people's money, the church must supply the demand and meet the craving!  How else are godless hypocrites to be held together? So the picture show and entertainment . . . take the place of the gospel address and the solemn worship of God.  And, thus, Christless souls are lulled to sleep and made to feel "religious" while gratifying every carnal desire under the sanction of the sham called the church!  And the end?  What an awakening [in eternity]!

H.A. Ironside, cited in "Quotable," The Berean Call, March 2004

    And how much more today than when Ironside spoke these words. The church has become a shame and a reproach to the Name of God.

    I think I've linked to that video in the past on one of my "Random" posts.

    OK. I have followed your blog for a couple years and had not seen you link to that video. I musta missed.

    Well, I know I've seen it before, but just to make sure, I'll post it with my next Random stuff.

    Thanks!
