Feeding Sheep or Amusing Goats?


"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." -C.H. Spurgeon

So much of the shallowness of the current evangelical movement could be addressed by listening to Spurgeon's warning. Fluff will only draw people in temporarily. When their soles are not fed they are no better off then when they walked in the door. They may even be worse off.

Maybe we should abolish all music (special and general) for a month and find some other way to worship other than badly sung, badly written, chorus praise songs.
