I haven't posted anything in almost 2 months! There is a couple of reasons for that. First Homeschoolblogger got troublesome and Jack was going to help me move my blog somewhere else. We didn't get around to that yet. Also life has gotten really messy here. It's still messy with no end in sight, I may blog about it sometime but not right now.
This is sort of a test post, something short that I don't have to compose in my head, in case it gets lost in cyberspace. See, I'm going to share a portion of an A.W. Tozer essay. The essay is about the lack of spiritual discernment.
"Mere evangelism is not our present need. Evangelism does no more than extend religion, of whatever kind it may be. It gains acceptance for religion among larger numbers of people without giving much thought to the quality of that religion. The tragedy is that present-day evangelism accepts the degenerate form of Christianity now current as the very religion of the apostles and busies itself with making converts to it with no questions asked. And all the time we are moving farther and farther from the New Testament pattern.
"We must have a new reformation. There must come a violent break with that irresponsible, amusement-mad, paganized pseudo-religion which is being spread all over the world by unspiritual men employing unscriptural methods to achieve their ends.
"When the Roman church apostasized, God brought about the Reformation. When the Reformation declined, God raised up the Moravians and the Wesleys. When these movements began to die, God raised up fundamentalism and the "deeper life" groups.
"Now that these have almost without exception sold out to the world- what next?"
