Since Satan can't destroy the gospel, he has too often neutralized its usefulness by addition, subtraction or substitution.
It must not content us to take our bodies to church if we leave our hearts at home.

We have no reason to be discouraged and cast down if the religion we profess is not popular and few agree with us. We must remember the words of our Lord Jesus Christ in this passage: ‘The gate is narrow’. Repentance, and faith in Christ, and holiness of life, have never been fashionable.
