Session Description
We will be looking at a historical case of worship wars, specifically in the 1830s and 1840s, and the session will close with some current applications onto the present day scene. During this time period, the church and the nation are in a sorry way. Thousands and thousands of people are going into eternity unsaved. The morals of society are degenerating day by day, week by week. Sin and unrighteousness are ruling in high places. And the church stays in the same old ways, singing the same old songs, parsing the tithe and practicing traditional theology.

War and Religion in America: Worship Wars
We will be looking at a historical case of worship wars, specifically in the 1830s and 1840s, and the session will close with some current applications onto the present day scene. During this time period, the church and the nation are in a sorry way. Thousands and thousands of people are going into eternity unsaved. The morals of society are degenerating day by day, week by week. Sin and unrighteousness are ruling in high places. And the church stays in the same old ways, singing the same old songs, parsing the tithe and practicing traditional theology.
