Hymns Of The Lukewarm Church: For God's Frozen People :choir:



The LukeWarm Church announces publication of "Church Songs," whose title, according to the editor, was selected because "we didn't want to turn anybody off with threatening words that no one understands anymore like 'worship' or 'hymn.' People in today's society get kind of uncomfortable with too much talk about things like commitment and dedication. They'd much rather have a religion that they can turn on or off at will. Our book seeks to meet that need."

Helena, I'm so sad I never saw these before this. They would actually be quite funny except there's many a true word.......

[HelenaZF]

Point taken.



Interestingly, after I got done chuckling about these, I did go back and read through them in kind of a self-examination exercise.



There are some good questions there, like:



Am I a saint that goes "sneaking" in?



How many times do I only "surrender some"?



Have I said to God, "Take my life, but let me be"?

or "don't cramp my style"?





It seems to not matter how sold-out you think you are, there is always further that you can go.

[flaglady]

Yes, know what you mean - this kind of mentality.....





(note arms upraised in worship!)
