Christian Recreation and Unchristian Amusement

Theodore Cuyler lived and preached in the US during the 1800s. In this sermon, he analyzes the Bible’s position on recreational activities. He distinguishes between Christian and secular forms of amusement, arguing that the latter should be avoided as it is both “dangerous to the body and damning to the soul.” This compelling sermon calls Christians to delight in the pleasures given to us by God, but to flee from those rooted in sin.
