An evil is in the professed camp of the Lord, so gross in its impudence, that the most short-sighted can hardly fail to notice it. During the past few years it has developed at an abnormal rate, even for evil. It has worked like leaven until the whole lump ferments. The devil has seldom done a cleverer thing than hinting to the Church that part of their mission is to provide entertainment for the people, with a view to winning them. From speaking out as the Puritans did, the Church has gradually toned down her testimony, then winked at and excused the frivolities of the day. Then she tolerated them in her borders. Now she has adopted them under the plea of reaching the masses.

This sounds like something out of a ‘prophecy’ book. However, the sourse is very interesting…

The above words were from Charles Spurgeon over a hundred years ago. In fact, I can not add anything to his words entitled Feeding Sheep or Amusing Goats . Spurgeon says so much with so little words. I am starting to admire this man more and more.
