Charles Finney addresses the topic of worldly amusements, emphasizing that true communion with God should extinguish the desire for worldly pleasures. He argues that a genuine Christian life is marked by a repulsion towards worldly entertainments, as they distract from the spiritual joy found in a relationship with God. Finney warns that seeking enjoyment in worldly amusements misrepresents the essence of Christianity and can lead to a loss of credibility among the unconverted. He shares personal experiences to illustrate that a deep spiritual life brings a higher form of enjoyment that renders worldly pleasures unsatisfactory. Ultimately, he calls Christians to live above the world, demonstrating that true happiness is found in God alone.
