Good Times

What follows is an excerpt from the book "America is too young to die", by Leonard Ravenhill (author of Why Revival Tarries). It describes these present times, although it was written in 1979. What follows is all too common now, ten fold more than when written (and in just 28 short years!). Take a look around. There's something happening here.

"In this day of thin theology, gospel peddlers (I hardly dare call them
evangelists) have accented free grace until some such teaching has become a
disgrace.
Men will not always say in clear words what they imply in their
teaching. But the average evangelist, with his eyes on the crowd or on the offering, has a 'gospel' which, in Paul's words, is 'another gospel.'
It goes something like this:
You have done wrong (the ugly word 'sinned' is omitted), this will ruin
your life (not, 'sin will cast you into hell'); come and tell God you are
sorry (not, 'bring forth fruit therefore meet for repentance'). Now don't
sob like that (though God says 'a broken and a contrite heart'), the Lord
understands; now that you have prayed, all is well. Just think of it this
way; your name is now written in the Book of Life. You will have a mansion
over the hilltop, a crown and free ticket to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb
and will be a ruler over five cities.
This, if it were true, would classify for the title, 'The Great
Give-Away.'"
