Golden Calf Christianity

ByPastor Wynn

It has been a couple of days since my last post.  We had a great services this past weekend at Lighthouse.  One man was saved, who was first brought in on the bus.  He came back this week in his own car and brought his family.  During the service, the Lord spoke to his heart and he trusted Christ as Savior!  What a blessing.

Anyway, I did want to post some fresh content on the blog for challenge and encouragement.  The article posted here is a quote from A.W. Tozer.  Tozer died in the 1963, after a living of intimate communion with the Lord.  He was a man of prolific words and challenging insight.  I would recommend that anyone read all they can of Tozer’s writings.

Although, this article is not new, I believe it is worth reading today.  If Tozer was appalled at the state-of-the-church in his day, what would he think of today?  This brief excerpt from his writing on Religious Boredom is a timely challenge to our churches today.<br

Golden-Calf Christianity
It is scarcely possible in most places to get anyone to attend a meeting where the only attraction is God. So we have the strange anomaly of orthodoxy in creed and heterodoxy in practice. The striped-candy technique has been so fully integrated into our present religious thinking that it is simply taken for granted. Its victims never dream that it is not a part of the teachings of Christ and His apostles. Any objection to the carryings on of our present golden-calf Christianity is met with the triumphant reply: “But we are winning them!” And winning them to what? To true discipleship? To cross-carrying? To self-denial? To separation from the world? To crucifixion of the flesh? To holy living? To nobility of character? To a despising of the world’s treasures? To hard self-discipline? To love for God? To total committal to Christ?

Of course, the answer to all this questions in NO! We are paying a frightful price for our religious boredom. And that at the expense of the world’s mortal peril!

  • Troubles

    ByPastor Wynn

    The following poem was authored by Evangelist Greg Locke. Troubles My troubles have come, My troubles have gone, And more trouble is on the way. One thing’s for sure, My troubles endure, For my trouble will meet me today. So often I’ve tried, Just simply to hide; My face from it’s long gazing stare. Yet,…

    Be a Man!

    ByPastor Wynn

    In our modern culture, manliness is viewed as a lesser trait. In a day when the male gender has been encouraged to “get in touch with your feminine side,” the Scriptures know of no such side to the male. In a day when gender distinctions have been been declared politically incorrect, the Scriptures remind us often that manliness should be a desired achievement for all males.
