Subject: Hysterical, Sensational, Sentimental |
Bible Note: "The life of many religious people, I fear, in this age, is nothing better than a continual course of chasing after novelties. They are always morbidly craving fresh excitement; and they seem to care little what it is -- if they only get it. All preaching seems to be the same to them; and they appear unable to 'see differences' so long as they hear what is clever, have their ears tickled, and sit in a crowd. Worst of all, there are hundreds of young unestablished believers who are so infected with the same love of excitement, that they actually think it a duty to be always seeking it. Insensibly almost to themselves, they take up a kind of hysterical, sensational, sentimental Christianity -- until they are never content with the 'old paths;' and, like the Athenians, are always running after something new!" --J. C. Ryle (1816-1900) I wonder what dear Godly men like Ryle would say of our day? |
