"The hypocrite sets his watch, not by the sun, that is, the Bible, but by the town clock; what most do, that he will do. Vox populi is his vox Dei." -- William Gurnall.
So goes the Church when we rely on gimmicks to draw people in, only to find that they do not want to hear the Bible once they have arrived, but want to continue to be entertained by the gimmicks.

Interesting quote. It is exactly the opposite of the messages we heard at last night's classis meeting. We were told to let the culture dictate our church life and worship.
What fools are we to believe that God would have us ask the people who despise Him how we ought to worship Him! I don't know whether to scream, laugh, or cry.
