Re: Entertainment or Discipleship?

The Church indulges our desire to "feel good" instead of responding to our need to be spiritually challenged and fed through solid exposition of the Scriptures. The electronic Church in particular panders to our appetite for entertainment rather than authentic discipleship and maturity. --Joyce Main Hanks

The Humiliation of the Word Individual faithfulness is rewarded with intimate fellowship with the heart of Christ ...and cheered...with the bright and blessed hope of the Lord' s coming....I would earnestly and affectionately entreat you to join in petition to our ever-gracious God to stir up the hearts of His beloved people all over the world to seek a more pronounced, wholehearted, devoted discipleship; to turn away from everything contrary to His Word; to be true to His Word and to His name in this dark and evil day; and thus realize the truth...that the greater the ruin [apostasy], the richer the grace; the deeper the gloom, the brighter the outshining of individual faith. --C.H.Mackintosh

For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds, (2 Cor 10:4)

And the things that you have heard from me among many witnesses, commit these to faithful men who will be able to teach others also...Till I come, give attention to reading, to exhortation, to doctrine. (2Tim 2:2, 1Tim 4:13)

For I determined not to know anything among you except Jesus Christ and Him crucified. (1 Cor 2:2) (VW)
