One of the most popular current errors, and the one out of which springs most of the noisy, blustering religious activity being carried on in evangelical circles these days, is the notion that as times change the church must change with them.

Christians must adapt their methods by the demands of the people. If they want ten-minute sermons, give them ten-minute sermons.

If they want truth in capsule form, give it to them. If they want pictures, give them plenty of pictures. If they like stories, tell them stories.

If they prefer to absorb their religious instruction through the drama, go along with them - give them what they want. “The message is the same, only the method changes,” say the advocates of compromise.

Great Tozer quote.  Thank God for the watchman!
