Open up the tap and let the beer flow!!!!!!

Come on in partner and order a round... The new bar room church service is in session. The Country Rock Church opened its doors and about 100 people came on into Sunday night's meeting at the Pub Lounge in Sidney, Ohio. The church's Web site, http://www.sidneyfirst.com/, totes pizza, hot wings, bands and wild fun with a nice short message. I wonder if there is a mechanical bull?.... Well, dadgum there is!!! A well thought out illustration was given as part of the message. A mechanical bull actually inspired the sermon reports WTOPnews.com... http://www.wtopnews.com/?nid=456&sid=1390644

I wonder if they will eventually have division among the camp. Many churches split because of the colors of new carpet. I can just see it now, I want Budwieser, you want Coors and the rest of the church wants some import beer...

On a serious note though, This is another brilliant example of Crossless Christianity seeker sensitive mush. No cross, no repentance, no mediator for sin (Jesus) is a setup for disaster. Where in the bible did any of the apostles go into the streets and preach a message called "How to get along in life"? Let alone do it with a cup of wine in there hand!

We need to be sober minded and preach the true gospel!!!

Rom 3:23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;

Rom 3:24 Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:

Rom 3:25 Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God;

Rom 3:26 To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus.

Rom 8:27 And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God.

Rom 8:28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.

Rom 8:29 For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.

Rom 8:30 Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified.

Rom 8:31 What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us?

Rom 8:32 He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?

Rom 8:33 Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God's elect? It is God that justifieth.

Rom 8:34 Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us.

by His Grace alone,

Bill
