You cannot have a moral holiday and remain moral, nor can you have a spiritual holiday and remain spiritual.

But what about the devil-possessed world? Oh, let it go to hell! We are having a great time up here.

If we are cut loose from the anchor of God's Word, we will not be free. We will be slaves of personal passions and popular trends.
