Should we show football in church?

A sort of Christian think tank has suggested that churches should show the world cup on large screens. They 'think' it will draw men back to church.

Makes you wonder what some 'christians' are made of. Why would men want to go to a church to watch the world cup on a big screen when they can go to the local pub and watch it? Since when does it make any sense whatsoever to use the world to attract men to God, er, sorry, 'the church'. At least one bishop is thinking of trying it.

We have the formula for attracting men to church in the Bible, you know, that big black book that no one seems to read these days! It says: "Jesus said, 'If I am lifted up, I will draw all men to myself.'" If these churches will preach Christ, and lift Him up in their meetings, Jesus will do the rest. He said, "I will build My church." No mention of football, or discos, or yoga classes etc. etc.

Places of worship are, or should be, just that, places of 'worship', where our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ is worshipped.

Holiness is separation from the world, not inviting it through the doors in the vain hope that it will succeed where the church has failed.

This is a great example of why Jesus chose fishermen to be His disciples and not educated men.The trouble with educated men is that they rely on their brain, and not the Holy Spirit.

Will they never learn...

Hunger for Bibles 'growing' in China

Christianity is growing like wild fire in China, praise the Lord, and they are hungry for the Word of God. In China, there is only one printer allowed to print Bibles, and they can't keep up with the demand.

Here's a thought….

Why don't all the Godless sections of the church, you know, the ones who ordain homosexuals, donate their Bibles to those who will actually read them. Those who actually believe what it says and consider it to be the actual word of God, and to be obeyed!

Well, they don't need them do they. They could use the Beano, or Punch, and no one would know the difference. Truth is, they don't deserve the Bible, but the Chinese do.

The Free Church?

The Free Church of Scotland is considering allowing the use of hymns and instruments in worship for the first time.

Supporters in the Church believe it may help attract new members to struggling congregations.

It won't. But this will…

Drop the dead religion which is the thing that is driving people away from you.
Get born again and Spirit filled as the Bible commands.

The music, the joy and the worship will follow automatically, closely followed by a growing congregation.

You see, people are attracted to life, not death. Jesus said, "I have come that your JOY may be complete." He also said, "If I am lifted up I will draw all men to myself." Start preaching Jesus…

I'm wasting my breath, aren't I…!
