If I want to have a good time at the bar and someone starts preaching and the management allows it, I'll find me another bar to patronize.

We are the church, the gospel mandate never said bring people to church, it said go, I think it to be risky to go to that setting but at the same time, those risks are rewarded. Sometimes to fulfill the gospel mandate, we are going to have to sit in the smoking or drinking sections.
