Re: The Two Lost Disciplines of My Generation
Coonperson,
What you describe not only results in less time given to relationship with God but also within families. I was thankful that none of my three kids liked video games nor tried to listen to music with earbuds in their ears when were in the car. I had told my wife I would not allow that as I wanted us to talk as a family while traveling to use it as quality time together. Thank heavens I never had to fight that battle. Of course I did have others to fight!
I appreciate your timely word and take it to heart. Got to make time for Him who is King in our life.

"We did not wear uniforms. The lady workers dressed in the current fashions of the day, ...silks...satins...jewels or whatever they happened to possess. They were very smartly turned out, so that they made an impressive appearance on the streets where a large part of our work was conducted in the early years.
"It was not until long after, when former Holiness preachers had become part of us, that strict plainness of dress began to be taught.
"Although Entire Sanctification was preached at the beginning of the Movement, it was from a Wesleyan viewpoint, and had in it very little of the later Holiness Movement characteristics. Nothing was ever said about apparel, for everyone was so taken up with the Lord that mode of dress seemingly never occurred to any of us."
