“The f-word is now as common as “please,” bad grammar is a badge of honor, tattoos swallow up skin, and even the indigenous people of New Guinea are appalled by all the piercings.”
(Bill O’Reilly) Things are changing fast in America, and some of the new looks are simply bizarre. If you watch the NFL halftime programs, you see guys in thousand-dollar suits wearing ugly sneakers. Why? It’s not suitable, so to speak. They look foolish. Get shoes. That’s not hard. But don’t wear brown shoes with dark suits!
Why do I have to explain this?
The sneakers thing began about a decade ago when some women wore them with dresses. Again, why? Are they trying to look like Janis Joplin? Wait. Even Janis would be appalled. She possessed a sense of style. View article →
A.W. Tozer on the culture of his day…
“I’m always suspicious when we talk too much about ourselves. Somebody pointed out that hymnody took a downward trend when we left the great objective hymns that talked about God and began to sing the gospel songs that talk about us. There was a day when men sang ‘Holy, Holy, Holy,’ and ‘O Worship the King,’ and they talked objectively about the greatness of God. Then we backslide into that gutter where we still are where everything is about ‘I.’ ‘I’m so happy,’ ‘I’m so blest,’ ‘I’m so nice,’ ‘I’m so good,’ always ‘I.’ The difference between heaven and hell is the difference between God and I. Jesus Christ, by canceling His ‘I’ was the Christ of God, not as I will, but as Thou wilt. The devil by magnifying his ‘I’ became the devil — when he said, ‘I will arise, I will raise my throne above the throne of God’.” A.W. Tozer, Sermon, “Ezekiel”
