Thomas Watson:
“The surrender to culture is a snare that ensnares many unwary souls, leading them astray from the narrow path of righteousness. It is through the Scriptures that we come to know God and His will for our lives. The Puritan must be vigilant against the influences of the surrounding culture, guarding against any compromise with the world and its values. Let us not be deceived by the fleeting pleasures and empty promises of this present age, but let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who alone can deliver us from the power of darkness and bring us into His marvelous light.” (From “The Art of Divine Contentment”)
