PLEASE READ (Hebrews 13:7-8) IN PREPARATION FOR THIS WRITTING !
In today's culture, the new version of Christianity is far from that of a century ago, although the full intent of the gospel has never changed (Malachi 3:6). So, what has happened? Has "the salt lost its savor (Matthew 5:13)? Or, has the "light been hidden under a bushel" (Matthew 5:15) ? It seems the more the church dives into our modern day culture, the more it becomes like the world. Yes, we need that "Old Time Religion", today more than ever before (Jeremiah 6:10-19) (Jeremiah 18:15).
So, what is that "Old Time Religion" ? Simply put, it is what the "old timers" referred to as a "free and easy church service. A time of:
Foot Tapping
Knee Slapping
Hand Clapping,
Hallelujah shouting
Praises to the living God..
I once heard of an "Old Time Religion" Deacon, who prayed this prayer in the service, " Lord, let something happen in the service today, that's not in the bulletin". To this I give a big "Amen".
I still believe in those "free and easy" services, guided by God's Holy Spirit. I can't help but ponder those old "brush-arbor" revival meetings where the "Amen's" and the "Hallelujah's" echoed, as the spirit led. And those old fashion alters full of praying parishioners. So, I ask you again, "What has happened to the "Old Time Religion?'
You see, the living Word of God will not change. neither will His words need revision, updating, or supplementation. The canon of the scripture is closed, and there is no need to seek a new Christianity (Colossians 2:6-8).
A changeless Savior and a changeless gospel means that we should be suspicious about that which is new and which has no scripture foundation.
In a changing world, we still have a changeless Savior. And a changeless gospel. Thus, the "Old Time Religion".
Give Me That Old Time Religion
That Old Time Religion
Yes Just Like It Use To Be
Give Me That Old Time religion
That Old Time Religion
It's Still Good Enough For Me
Hallelujah-Hallelujah-Hallelujah
It Was good Enough For Them
And It's Still Good Enough You See
