“”Let’s do something to get people to come to church and not offend anyone”. “
The Church in America is rapidly fading into irrelevance as America’s death-spiral tightens. This will not end well.
In my years, I see Christians getting offended over nothing and just going from church to church. This has not helped. Soon a church will not be allowed to offend anyone with the message of the Gospel or it will be shut down.
I bailed out of church when I heard "Merry Christmas and Happy Ramadan" from the pulpit.
Sometimes you read some words that totally change the way you see things....this was a passage that did it for me....
"What would things look like if Satan actually took over a city? The first frames in our imaginative slide show probably depict mayhem on a massive scale: Widespread violence, deviant sexualities, pornography in every vending machine, churches closed down and worshipers dragged off to City Hall. Over a half-century ago, Donald Grey Barnhouse, pastor of Philadelphia's Tenth Presbyterian Church, gave his CBS radio audience a different picture of what it would look like if Satan took control of a town in America. He said that all of the bars and pool halls would be closed, pornography banished, pristine streets and sidewalks would be occupied by tidy pedestrians who smiled at each other. There would be no swearing. The kids would answer "Yes, sir," "No, ma'am," and the churches would be full on Sunday ... where Christ is not preached."
