Mere heathen morality, and not Jesus Christ, is preached in most of our churches.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
If we allow the consideration of heathen morality and heathen religion to absolve us from the duty of preaching the gospel we are really deposing Christ from His throne in our own souls.
To be frank, I suspect that today there is little respect for Christianity as source of moral teaching about goodness.
Preaching is the expression of the moral sentiment in application to the duties of life.
What we call 'morals' is simply blind obedience to words of command.
Thinking that morality is all about commandments is a relatively new way of thinking, since the Reformation.
The minister of the Gospel is really the yardstick by which the nation measures its morals.
Morality is of the highest importance - but for us, not for God.
People don't come to church for preachments, of course, but to daydream about God.
Morality without religion is only a kind of dead reckoning - an endeavor to find our place on a cloudy sea by measuring the distance we have run, but without any observation of the heavenly bodies.
Christians are not limited to any church.
