How'd they know?

Upon receiving my first issue of Banner of Truth magazine, I was excited to find they had customized the issue just for me. My favorite article, "'Sort of' Reformed" (or Pseudo-Reformed) did quiet well dealing with the trends of the modern "Reformed" worship movement. Quoting Merle d'Aubigne: "a profane spirit had invaded religion. . . the seasons which seemed most to summon the faithful to devout reflection and love were dishonoroured by buffoonery and profanations altogether heathenish. . . Preachers went out of their way to put into their sermons whatever might excite the laughter of the people. . . The very temples were converted into a stage and the [ministers] were montebanks." A sad time for many "Reformed" churches. In God's providence He has preserved some.

Hello Mrs. P! Indeed, you're correct. I've been drafted into the bloggers' underworld.
