Tozer on Entertainment

A. W. Tozer summarized the dangers of entertainment for our day (and he wrote this some 45 years ago) in his essay "The Great God Entertainment" (published in The Root of the Righteous):
…the ominous thing is that [entertainment's] power is almost exclusively evil, rotting the inner life, crowding out the long eternal thoughts which would fill the souls of men if they were but worthy to entertain them. And the whole thing has grown into a veritable religion which holds its devotees with a strange fascination, and a religion, incidentally, against which it is now dangerous to speak.
