Sermon Tone Analysis

God’s wrath has been revealed throughout History when Idolatry had become depravity

Poor Choices and Bad consequences

Today's Best Illustrations, Volumes 1-4 (Unknowing Idolators)

I believe a very large majority of churchgoers are merely unthinking, slumbering worshipers of an unknown God.

Charles Spugeon(mid 1800’s)

When men stop worshipping God, they promptly start worshipping man, with disastrous results.

George Orwell(Mid 1900s)

By losing morality, we’ve destroyed essence

Ravi Zacharias(2000)

What happens when God gives us what we deserve?

I think we are now living in the very decade when God may thunder his awesome “paradidomai” (I abandon, or I give [them] up) (Romans 1:24 ff.) over America’s professed greatness.

Our massacre of a million fetuses a year; our deliberate flight from the monogamous family; our normalizing of fornication and of homosexuality and other sexual perversions; our programming of self-indulgence above social and familial concerns—all represent a quantum leap in moral deterioration, a leap more awesome than even the supposed qualitative gulf between conventional weapons and nuclear missiles.

Our nation has all but tripped the worst ratings on God’s Richter scale of fully deserved moral judgement.

When our focus moves from God to the images this world suggests, instead of being Spirit filled people become filled with depravity.

1.

No picture shall be produced that will lower the moral standards of those who see it.

Hence the sympathy of the audience should never be thrown to the side of crime, wrongdoing, evil or sin.

2. Correct standards of life, subject only to the requirements of drama and entertainment, shall be presented.

3. Law, natural or human, shall not be ridiculed, nor shall sympathy be created for its violation.
