However, I believe there is a more subtle problem than the worldly pleasures found in our churches. Many pastors are so infected with the "numbers" disease that they'll do just about anything to have a big (and bigger) crowd. A large number of people is fine, IF you have a passion to reach the lost. But many pastors, I'm afraid, are more interested in the image of their churches.

As for the proper music in church, we are told to sing "psalms, hymns and spiritual songs". This is not the kind of music that appeals to the flesh. This is not worldly, carnal music. If you hear music you should not have to wonder if it is spiritual or secular. There should be no doubt. How many rock concerts include the singing of hymns? None. You can be certain of that. Sadly, many churches sound like a rock concert. The world does not compromise, but the church does. SHAMEFUL!

We are told in God's Word not to be conformed to the world. Christians are commanded to come out of the world. Instead, we use worldliness as a ridiculous excuse to reach the world. As a result, the church has been infected with a lack of power. What the world really needs is not there.

The mighty Romans sat in their senate discussing what could be done about the barbarian threat. They did not know that they were sitting next to some of them.

Although outnumbered, Islamic terrorists are smart--and patient. They take an indirect approach to their planning. Five years or more is worth a successful attack.

Want some good models to follow? Two come to mind. PAST-the Old West. PRESENT-the Israeli army. Terrorists aren't treated well in Israel. That would be merciful compared to the Old West. Radical? Too intense? Well, I suppose we could continue down the path of make-believe (PC nonsense).

Talking and reasoning with terrorists is useless. The only thing they understand and respect is force.

First, notice that homosexuals must create laws to make their perversion appear to be natural. If it was indeed natural no laws would be required.
