Selling out

Tozer criticized those churches that adopted the methods of the world in order to accomplish the agenda and goals of God. He pointed out three things that he believed were diametrically opposed to the work of the Holy Spirit in the local church: (1) the methods of big business, (2) the methods of show business, and (3) the methods of Madison Avenue advertisers. Along with this, he charged that the spirit of modern evangelism seemed to be foreign to that of the New Testament. By all costs, he believed that the Church must return to New Testament principles.—A.W. Tozer, Reclaiming Christianity, 11

Can you imagine the thunder from the pulpit if he were around today?
