”Everywhere there is apathy. Nobody cares whether that which is preached
is true or false. A sermon is a sermon whatever the subject; only, the shorter
it is the better.”
These are the words that could very well describe the feelings in the normal
church in the United States. Apathy abounds. While souls are dying and perishing
forever, we are building our houses on sand. The preaching behind the “sacred
desk” is not sacred. They are filled with pop-psychology, and “feel good”
topics. Today if you preach on standards, or living a Godly life you will be
ignored. Not to mention the fact that, “preacher, I don’t think we need to be at
church all day. We give you until 12:00, don’t you think that is sufficient
time?”
These words are words that are convicting. They shoot to the heart of our anemic
spiritual lives. They could have been spoken by any man that is alive today; but
they weren’t. They were spoken over 100 years ago by a man named Charles
Spurgeon.
With the church of his day on a rapid pace of apostasy, Spurgeon took up the
fight against the lack of spirituality.
If you are at all acquainted with Spurgeon, you know about the “Down-Grade
Controversy”. He believed that biblical truth is like the pinnacle of a steep,
slippery mountain, Spurgeon suggested, one step away and you will find yourself
on the down-grade. Once a church or individual Christian gets on the down-grade,
momentum takes over. Recovery is often unusual and occurs only when Christians
get on the “up-line” through spiritual revival.
The sad thing as we consider this, is the fact that many generations have come
and gone. Fathers have taught their sons, mothers have taught their daughters.
Each generation slowly gets farther and farther down this mountain. If what
Spurgeon taught is true, then the church today is on a rapid toboggan slide.
Momentum has carried us to the point where we no longer base a successful church
on spiritual matters. We base success on numbers, and we disguise this with
“roll call Sundays” and big promotions.
This web-site is an attempt like Spurgeon and many other voices out there, to
give out a “Kry”. We need to wake up. We have been asleep in the light for to
long. Zion has been to comfortable. We have been to busy entertaining one
another. Please join me in this fight. We can not afford to do anything else.
For the eyes of the LORD run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to shew himself strong in the behalf of them whose heart is perfect toward him. 2 Chronicles 16:9 |

I have searched the web for some good Godly music to share with you. I am tired of the modern music movement in our Churches. It has come to the point where we worship music more than the Great I Am. Its time our focus is changed from the beat to the message. | |
