If you ask me what is hurting us as a Christian people more than any. thing else it is not that we hav gone over to the devil, but have met him half way and compromised. The world goes to the theatre with the church, andthe church drinks whisky with the world, and the world and the church have gone over the lines so much that it’s wiped out.
