Several years ago brother N.B. Hardeman, one of the greatest spiritual giants of his generation, was asked what dangers he saw confronting the church of his day.  His reply was as follows:    

  1) A lack of Bible knowledge and a light regard with what it says.      

2) A tendency to make the church a social club of entertainment.       

3) A disposition to compromise the truth and to discourage sound preaching.      

4) A love for the praise of men more than the praise of God. Consider these four things and note how the growth of each of them is causing problems to the church in our day.
