"...But if I am delayed, I write so that you may know how you ought to conduct yourself in the house of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth." (1 Tim. 3:15)

"Building recreation rooms and providing and supervising recreational activities at the expense of the church is a departure from the simple gospel as revealed in the New Testament. The church might as well relieve the parents by feeding and disciplining all the young people at church expense as to take over the job of entertaining and supervising their recreation at church expense." (From The Gospel Advocate Annual Commentary, 1951, Pg. 229)

The church needs to be diligently engaged in its God's given work of upholding, defending, and proclaiming the truth, and not be diverted to unlawful, carnal endeavors.
