Masters of Entertainment by the Evangelicals? Do you mean like having basketball teams, soccer teams, baby sitting facilities and all these other activities to bring in the young families. Yep, I guess what is needed is the OLD TIME RELIGION. Just believe in the word, sit on those hard pews for two hours of a Sunday AM and listen to the preach go at it. Amen!!!
With all due respect Clint, aren't you showing a wee bit of intolerance by your dig at the Evangelicals?

I am pleased that there is an increase in Evangelical church attendance. I consider those people to be my brothers and sisters in Christ. I am concerned that too often the church is following secular movements rather than leading. They have adopted secular music styles, taken on feel good philosophies and promoted attendance with free coffee and donuts.
Christ came to demonstrate love through sacrifice and we demonstrate it today with emphasis on good feelings and convenient worship styles.
It’s a good thing that hard pews have been replaced with soft chairs and a two hour sermon doesn’t make sense to me given the length of time people can actually pay attention
No offense taken. Intolerance is not an immoral act. Jesus wasn't tolerant of a lot of things.
