When preachers teach biblically and clearly about the judgment of God and the dangers of hell, men begin to see that their greatest need is to be saved from eternal condemnation, and the more "practical" needs of this present age become trivial in comparison.
Paul WasherThe church is in trouble-that's what they say anyways. The problem is most of what they call the church is not the church, and the church is not quite as in trouble as everybody thinks. As a matter of fact, the church today is absolutely beautiful-she's glorious, she's humble, she's broken, and she's confessing her sin. The problem is what everybody's calling the church today isn't the church. Basically, by and large, what's called the church today is nothing more than a bunch of unconverted church people with unconverted pastors.
Paul WasherMaybe that is why there are not a whole lot of problems between the church and worldly culture today, because we are not confronting the culture around us.
Paul WasherWeight every purpose in the light of eternity. A trivial pursuit is that which is out side the will of God & detached from the glory of God.
