A Prevalent Spirit Of This Age

"If we would know God as He is, we should neither take our own idea nor adopt the world's estimates, but see Him as He has revealed Himself in His Word, especially in the Gospel which began to be spoken by His Son, the only Teacher competent to instruct us here." (The Biblical Illustrator) There is a spirit (attitude) that is prevalent in our age. It is the same spirit (attitude) that was found in Pharaoh, the ungodly in Job's day, and in the Christians of Agur's day. And it is the same spirit (attitude) that was found in the Laodiceans which this age so resembles.
