"Where does Christianity destroy itself in a given generation? It destroys itself by not living in the light, by professing a truth it does not obey. What the combined forces of Hell cannot do, the church can do. Love of money, love of the world, unconfessed iniquity, private sins that no one dreams we have - these are destroying the Church of Christ."
A.W. Tozer

That was written how long ago? There really is nothing new under the sun. We have a knack for messing things up and what many don't realize is the world sits and takes notes.
Our witness is weakened and folks choose false alternatives.
Ultimately the gates of hell will not prevail against the church. Yet we see throughout history how we manage to get off course and muck things up.
Let's make more disciples as Jesus commanded. Mr. Tozer still speaks although he is no longer among us.
He wrote from the 40's through the 50', till his death in 1963.
The truth is always timely.
