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.
Unhappy at your church? Easy solution: find something you like.
Could there have been a struggling alcoholic in the congregation (saved or unsaved) that needed that?
"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!"
My brothers and I used to love to hear some of the old elders, and our grandparents when we were young, using old fashioned terms ( I'm only31)
Such terms as pool hall, dance hall, movie house. My grandmother who is 86 still calls any cd a record and any stereo a phonograph.
BARS! We don't even eat in restaurants that serve booze.
This was my beloved Grandmother's standard for the family so I follow it.She is a real old time Saint.We are looking at loosing her at anytime. She is 86 and in very poor health , so I'm bracing myself for the blow. She never preached behind the pulpit, but she could really straiten you out !
There aren't many eating places that don't serve alcohol and most Chili's, Applebees, and even Mimi's restaurants have a small bar too.
My wife is a great cook and I prefer to eat her cooking anyhow.I think some great preachers in Pentecost ruin part of their testimony by being obese. Don't get me wrong I love them, my best friend from childhood is well over 300.
