| Quotes |
Emeka Odum:
Let's say I go to your church and preach the morning sermon. Halfway through the sermon I curse the name of Jesus, or as some would say, I use the Lord's name in vain. Will that not wake up your congregation? So then I preach a little more and then I curse His name again. How would they react to that? And then I preach a little more and I curse His name again. Would the people not be upset? Then I bring up a young couple on the platform and they start to kiss and take their clothes off, right there, in church, on a Sunday morning. How long do you think your congregation will allow this to go on? Would they not say, "This is most awful thing, to curse the name of Jesus in church? And to have them take off their clothes here in front of everyone? Would they not be appalled? Would they not yell out "Stop it! You cannot do this in this place."? But yet, I say 12 hours earlier, on Saturday night, in a movie theater, when this exact same thing occurs, it is entertainment? My friend, something is wrong. We must make up our mind. It is either entertainment Saturday night in the theater and entertainment Sunday morning in church, or it is most sinful Sunday morning in church *and* most sinful Saturday night in the theater. This is why I say the movie theater is the most powerful church in America. It's the only place where Christians go to hear the name of Jesus Christ used as a swear word, and to watch nakedness, and yet pay their money to be entertained. David Williams: I never thought of it like that before. Emeka Odum: I say this trembling, David: Most people go to church in America know not Jesus. The Bible says in the last days men have become lovers of pleasure more than lovers of God. Is this not the case in America now? Ask yourself, would I go to the movie theater to hear my name cursed? Then why go to the theater to hear His name cursed? David, would you go to the theater to see your daughter naked on the screen? So why go see someone else's daughter naked on the screen? It is great sinfulness in the eyes of God. See more » |
