missio

Published yesterday in the Daily Reflector.

I would like to make a few comments on an article you ran a couple of weeks ago about a local church service in a local bar downtown. The zeal is commendable, but the place they held service was not appropriate.

I realize they are trying to shock people into listening to them. That is the reason they had the service in the bar. Yes, they made their point, but also cast a bad light on our lord Jesus Christ. No, he would not appreciate them making a mockery of him in the devil’s house. Yes, we are to witness as he would, but what did they do after the door opened at 1 p.m. Did they try, after their worship service, to help people see their need to not drink alcohol and come to know our lord Jesus Christ as their personal savior?

Yes, he died for sinners, but it looks like you just played church and really had no thought of helping souls to become born again. Please, stop playing church and pretending you are studying God’s word while in the devil’s workplace. God is not pleased with anyone being in the devil’s workshop, unless you are trying to win a soul to Jesus Christ our savior. By the way, I am sure the owner would not allow you to witness to sinners in his place of business after the service.

Yes, we all need to be sure we are not playing church wherever we are gathering. By all means, I commend you for studying God’s word but go from the devil’s workshop. Make a place that is commendable to God is my plea. Thank you.
