Have you seen it? This group goes church to church and sets up their entire stage with the help of the church members, then they hand the church members scripts and they are the actors.<BR/>Anyway, the show is one scene after another, people dying. This one doing drugs going to hell, this one going to heaven. One man in particular was saved on the jobsite moments before a wall fell and killed him.<BR/>The audience, filled with Christians of every kind/denomination, seemed to sit like rocks. I clapped at the first few scenes where someone was welcomed into heaven (entirely embarrassing my pewmate who half-heartedly attempted to support my clapping efforts). It was sad.<BR/><BR/>God preserve us all from such a fate.Flyawaynethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04256526531230045440noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16515444.post-33214152313642413792007-07-27T07:45:00.000-05:002007-07-27T07:45:00.000-05:00Mikey - I wish I was kidding.

Sunday the pastor gets up and asks for volunteers to scrub the floor in the other room.You feel a sense of entitlement. I did the other room by myself! I don't have to volunteer for this one.<BR/><BR/>There's no work quota with God though. It's just your whole heart. Everything.

I have been in some services where people were getting saved and the only ones really showing any excitement were the altar workers. I say, 'shake us, wake us again O LOrd.' I don't want to be an old-hat, I want to be versatile and new every morning in Him.
