Also this was the best part of the Transformers 2 movie, IMO

You could spin it that way. It gives a picture of what we all have or are going through

The Holy Ghost is an outdated tactic.

The Holy Ghost still draws people to repentence.
I have seen a lot of tactics. Mormons claim millions of baptisms.

The Narrow and Wide Gates
13"Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. 14But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it.
Big churches have good intentions. I suspect the narrow road discussion comes up later?

That tactic was in the bible. Lot of sowing but some on rocky soil, and most never took root.

Re: Using secular songs to open service for icebre
What's wrong with the kind of music they used to have in churches. This new stuff sometimes makes no sense and why so LOUD?

Re: Using secular songs to open service for icebre
I don't know anything about who wrote the songs we do in church, just like I don't know if the food I eat in a chinese restaurant was offered to idols.

Re: Using secular songs to open service for icebre
I think we can get to far out however winning souls should be our main focus...so in preparing for services we must examine who we are really reaching out to...years ago going into little catholic villages I new a couple little catholic songs that talked only about Jesus sometimes I would sing them...seemed to help me reach new people...
