Entertaining Ourselves to Death

from God's Word preached. Hosted by Woodland Park Bible Church

Text: Ecclesiastes 7:2–6 Speaker: Tony de la Riva -- In an age dominated by endless amusement and instant gratification, sober-mindedness is not only wise, but urgently necessary for anyone who wants to live for Christ. In this message, we will consider how a culture obsessed with entertainment has lost its capacity for clear thinking, meaningful relationships, and spiritual focus—a trend visible both in wider society and, all too often, within the church. Yet God calls believers to abandon the house of pleasure, and instead to embrace the mental and spiritual effort that is necessary for true discipleship. -- Woodland Park Bible Church is located in North County, San Diego.
