We hear talk of a "new" and modern theme in our preaching to suit a "new morality". New in presentation, yes, but in content, now. Death is always the same. Following this line of thought, we gradually destroy our ministry and much else (VMC 216).

This comment, going back to 1957, might be called prophetic--but a prophecy that went unheard like so many more. Now we have the results.


LET US PRAY: "Lord, cast out every evil imagination from me, and every impure thought and base desire, all envy, vanity, hypocricy, lying, deceit, anger, blasphemy, and every motion of the flesh and spirit that is not in accordance with Your holy will."

~ A Year with the Church Fathers Closing Prayer: p. 69
