What Mike Read Yesterday…

Here’s the quote Mike used in his teaching yesterday morning. I thought it was worth reposting for you to read and ponder…

“If we know the characteristic sins of the age, we can guess its foolish and fashionable assumptions—

  • that morality is simply a matter of personal taste,
  • that all silences need to be filled up with human chatter or background music,
  • that 760 percent of the American people are victims,
  • that it is better to feel than to think,
  • that rights are more important than responsibilities,
  • that even for children the right to choose supersedes all other rights,
  • that real liberty can be enjoyed without virtue,
  • that self-reproach is for fogies,
  • that God is a chum or even a gofer whose job is to make us rich or happy or religiously excited,
  • that it is more satisfying to be envied than respected,
  • that it is better for politicians and preachers to be cheerful than truthful,
  • that Christian worship fails unless it is fun.”
