I don't think KWSS's initial point was that it's a good thing to go to bars. He was wondering if it's necessary to preach against bars repeatedly in an established church.

I wouldn't think so. I can't recall the last time I've heard it preached.

I think spending a lot of time preaching against the evils of the world is not very productive. We should spend more time preaching about how to show people who are in that world JESUS.

It was a visiting preacher so this is not a case of spending a LOT of time unless this preacher visits a lot of the time.

KWWS apparently was accustomed to receiving something biblically edifying in Sunday School because he commented that he did NOT receive any such thing during the visiting preacher's message. This also speaks to infrequency of this topical focus.

Just going by his original post:

Do yall preach about bars and the outside sinful world alot to your congregation...LOL

That seems to be all I hear lately is alot of talk about bars and (The World and how bad it is) I would find it safe to say that the people I go to church with do not go to bars we have a really small church so why preach on it....I did not learn anything biblical yesterday at Sunday school because the preacher was complaining about the Outside world so much..It was a visiting preacher also.

Reminds me of an old Ray stevens song.

"Flock, a-ha. I just wanna say a few words about them discotechs. People's in there smokin', people's in there drinkin. People's in there dancing, a-ha. I tell you flock, a-ha, them discotechs ain't nothin' but a regular Sodom and Gamore, a-ha. Where you goin', Virgil, a-ha?"

"I'm goin' over to one of those discotechs!"

"You come back here, Virgil, a-ha!"
