It’s Saloon Church in Sidney, Ohio!


Circus Church

Belly up to the bar, pardner.


They’re serving up a new kind of church in Sidney, Ohio. With the promise of pizza, wings, top regional bands, “rowdy fun”, and a short message, what’s not to like?


I was about to remark satirically about mechanical bulls playing a role in the “worship”, but once again was outdone by reality.

The article from WTOP News http://www.wtopnews.com/?nid=456&sid=1390644


reports that mechanical bulls were the theme of the, uh, sermon which purportedly dealt with the issue of “getting along in life”.

God on MY TERMS 2

If you refuse to go to church unless it meets in a bar, offers pizza, hotwings, rowdy fun, a show, and a SHORT message.


Then you're in luck! Country Rock Church is for you.


It is affiliated with Sidney First United Methodist(an extremely liberal denomination)

but who cares what they believe and teach when you can have church


IN A BAR.


Here's what a local TV station said about it.

What we'd like to know is how pizza, hotwings, beer and a short message in a BAR makes this a 'real faith'?


The Bible doesn't mention any of those things.


Silly us, we thought a 'real faith' was one that trusts in Christ alone for salvation.


We thought a 'real faith' was one whose center and substance is 'Jesus Christ crucified for sinners'.



We have no Biblical idea how pizza and hot wings and beer play into a 'real faith'.



But why bother people with logical questions like that when people are fooling themselves into believing that they can have God on THEIR TERMS.


Asking Biblical questions is only likely to ruin the illusion for some of these people And living a lie is much more fun than facing the truth.




This is the verdict: Light has come into the world, but men loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil - John 3:19
.


Will there be a Celebrate Recovery Meeting after the service?

You know, I can't recall even one time in the bible when Jesus or the disciples had to come up with some gimmick or entertainment to get people to listen to them. All it took was the pure, truthful preaching of the Gospel and an open heart willing to admit it was a sinner in need of the Savior.
