I have always hated going to CHURCH.
It's boring and repetitive.
Now before all the hypocritical so called Christians judge me, please read my entire post.
I'm a thinker. A doer. A leader. A world changer.
I don't have a JOB because I hate doing the same boring thing day in and day out.
This is the same reason why I hate going to church.
It's the same boring, religious task week in and week out.
Here's a typical Church service:
Everyone sings 3 songs.
The Church gives the weekly announcements.
The Pastor comes on stage and gives a sermon.
The service is ended with a call to give your life to The Lord.
Next week.....
The same crap all over again.
Churches are dying all over the world. THIS IS A FACT.
Their doors are closing because people aren't coming.
However, what's absolutely THRIVING on Sunday's?
The NFL.
Not only are 75,000+ people filling up stadiums every single week, but they're paying hundreds of dollars to get a seat.
Imagine that Pastors.
So, here is my suggestion:
Give "THE WORLD" what they want.....
Make going to CHURCH each week exciting.
Have bright pink and neon lights and a disco ball operating throughout the service.
Have an awesome Rock Band singing the songs.
Bring in guest artists like Guns N Roses and Snoop Dogg. Imagine them singing: How Great Thou Art.
Have cup holders on all of the chairs so people can put their beverage of choice.
Have someone walking through the congregation selling refreshments like.....
GET YOUR PEPSI, PEANUTS, POPCORN, WINE and COCKTAILS HERE!
I'm being serious. Get out of your box and think differently.
Embrace people to be themselves.
Allow the hookers and prostitutes to wear high heels and mini skirts.
Allow the drunk club hopper to come in with the girl he just had a one night stand with.
Allow the drug dealers to come in with their tattoos and gold chains.
You see, society (ESPECIALLY CHURCH GOERS) judges these types of people.
However, Jesus does NOT.
Jesus hung out with the SINNERS. If you don't believe me, just read The Bible.
Instead of the Pastor preaching another boring, put you to sleep sermon, have him talk about WORLDLY things.....
Sex, Money, Politics and Religion.
I'm being serious. These topics get peoples attention.
When the Church service is over, have JESUS gift shops that sell product and merchandise other than a freakin JOHN 3:16 t-shirt.
OMG!
I will never wear that.
Instead of having t-shirts say:
Repent Or Burn In Hell
How about.....
Jesus Made Me A Millionaire
Oh hell yeah! Now you've got my attention. Tell me more?
I can see The Vision.
Instead of having beat up, sputtering Volvo's come into the parking lot, imagine seeing a line of Ferrari's, Escalade's and Aston Martin's.
Newcomers would be thinking.....
What the heck is going on here? I want whatever it is that these people have.
You see, I'm a Christian. I always have been.
However, I absolutely HATE religion, going to Church and seeing dead broke, judgemental hypocrites.
If Jesus was still here, he would too.
If you want "THE WORLD" to start coming to Church, then give them what they want.
Show them how THE KINGDOM OF GOD can give them the big house, the sports car, lots of money and time freedom to spend with the people they love.
Let them know that God wants them to be RICH and SUCCESSFUL and they're not gonna burn in hell for having nice things.
If you will just read The Bible you will discover that the men and women in it were filthy stinkin rich.
Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Joseph, King David and King Solomon were FREAKIN RICH.
They lived in PALACES.
They rode the Rolls Royce's of Camels.
Anyway, all I'm trying to say is.....
People are flooding into football stadiums, but not churches.
So, copy what they're doing to get the people to come.
Just get the people in the door and allow JESUS to do the rest.
Goat Life Baby.🐐
P.S. That's my kind of Church. Look below.
