Waking the Sleeping Church

Waking the Sleeping ChurchA Must-read for Every Church Member""Brethren, our preaching will bear its legitimate fruits. If immorality prevails in the land, the fault is ours in a great degree. If there is a decay of conscience, the pulpit is responsible for it. If the church is degenerate and worldly, the pulpit is responsible for it. If the world loses its interest in religion, the pulpit is responsible for it. If Satan rules in our halls of legislation, the pulpit is responsible for it. Let us not ignore this fact, my dear brethren; but let us lay it to heart, and b thoroughly awake to our responsibility in respect to the morals of this nation.""Charles G. FinneyThe Decay of Conscience, 1873
