You may think to gain favor and influence with the unsaved by joining with them in the lodge, or attending with them the movies, or by smoking or drinking or playing bridge with them, but you cannot! Worldliness means powerlessness! And that means that every Christian who sells out is guilty of the murder of the poor lost souls that go to Hell because he lost his influence.” ThinkingMayMeanSoulChristianGirlWinningLostChristPoorHellInfluenceDrinkGainsMurderSellsDancingDrinkingFavorsGuiltyBridgesSmokingCompanionJoiningAttendingPowerlessnessGo To HellLost SoulsLodgesWorldlinessPlaying Bridge Author:John R.

“The murders of Newtown are a warning to me - and you. Not a warning to see our schools as defenseless, but to see our souls as depraved. To see our need for a Savior.
