I plan to retire...right after lunch on the day I die! Until then I'm here to serve God, love people and talk about Jesus!

Church in America...
This is a funny video that hits at the heart of our consumer driven culture. What are your thoughts on this video in light of what you have experienced?

I guess you dont find Hell being preached that often or for that matter consequences to your actions only that of in the context between that of believers and nonbelievers. How often do we tone down GOD's WORD to be non confrontational?
Very funny video. Its especially accurate in the consumer mentality that many seem to have. Trying to alter the church to meet the demands of those that claim church isn't relevent to them or to the unbelievers.
Church isn't for the unbeliever. Church is what God provided to the believers. The relevance is in the message of truth.
Yikes! I laughed till I cried. Or cried till I laughed. I'm not sure which. So true that we just can't give people what they want unless each one has his or her own church. Sounds kinda lonely to me. So let's not give them what they want. Let's give them what they need.
Thanks for the post on my blog. Nor sure how we got around fire codes to have nursery on 2nd floor. It was before my time and I've learned not to ask too many questions. It never did feel right to have it up there.
So sorry to hear about what's gone on at your church. Praying for you, brother.
Hi, this is the First Trinity Unity Community Church. How can we let you get on with your own life, which is a life of unrepentance and sin?
Husband: "Eh ... just zip up and don't preach on sin. And yeh, don't touch on anything that might be negative. Ooohhh, by the way, get the drinks, food and pop songs going. It's great to have free food and music without going down to the pub. By the way, I believe you have a movie menu too?"
Wife: "Hi, can you look after our three kids for the next week or so? I believe you call that vacation cookie school or something like that. My hubby and I are going down to Jericho for a great time. Wouldn't wanna those kids to spoil the fun. OK? Great!"
Certainly. Congratulations, you are all driving on the broad way. Have a blessed time.
thanks for the rewrite...so true! We seem to be looking for a church that fits our needs instead of finding out what God wants us to do. We have it so backwards!

I personally would like CBC to order some of those John the Baptist gummie locusts.
