The "Joy" of Entertainment
In a recent post I talked about the American preoccupation with entertainment. Then I came across a quote by Leonard Ravenhill on The Light Is Sweet today. It gave words to something that had been vaguely developing in my mind:
"Entertainment is the devil's substitute for Joy; the less joy of the Lord you have, the more entertainment you need."
Well said (though I think I might change that last 'need' to 'desire'). I shrink at the indictment thereby levelled against me. America, you stand jointly accused. Defend yourself if you can.

I love Leonard Ravenhill!
I also love Keith Green's music, much of it parallels what Ravenhill is so passionate about, being that they were friends. I really love LR's book "Why Revival Tarries" which is more of a call to prayer. How appropriate.
I am a musician, and I would be honored if you would check out my site. LR has inspired some of my songs. All my music is free for download. Anyway, I just thought I'd share.
