We don’t write the blog, They do
Posted on April 6th, 2005 by Reformed Pope into the Uncategorized categoryThe following is the email sent out by CBC advertising their Men’s Breakfast:
What are you doing this coming Saturday morning? Some of you might be planning to fish. Others of you might have a tee time lined up. Still others might be planning to do some work around the house. But how many of you would change your plans if you knew there was an event coming that would allow you to experience the life-changing presence of God?
This Saturday morning you could encounter the presence of God. And in His presence your life could be strengthened, encouraged and changed for the better. Yep - you could go fishing or golfing, or work around the house, but there is little chance for God to change your life through those activities. Instead, why don’t you put yourself in the life-changing presence of God and see what God might do in you. Who knows, maybe you will emerge from the breakfast a different man from when you arrived. So make your plans today - let’s experience the presence of God together.
Where - East Campus, Ivy Hall
When - This Saturday (April 9), 8:00 a.m.
Cost - $5.00

Unfortunately, I have plans Saturday morning so I can’t go, but I would love it if someone could bring me a doggy bag of Life Changing Breakfast.
I’ll even cover half the cost of the meal.

Well, I’ve been to those mens’ breakfasts before and I wouldn’t exactly call it the presence of God that I come away with. (That food really messes with my stomach.)

The thing is I’d love to go to a breakfast or a fast or anything where the Spirit of God is allowed to show it is false advertising, you get promised that you will experience God, and then you pay the money and spend the time and what you get is a bunch of principles and teaching on giving money and zero attention is spent on Him. Honoring Him, and loving Him, and receiving Him. I hate it. I have been disappointed and burned to many times. This breakfast I will have to pass. And besides I have awesome times with God everyday in every kind of event, Golf or fishing or chores around the house.

The last blog was suppose to say, I’d love to go where the Spirit of God is allowed to show up, but what I have found is that it is false advertising when they promise the presence of God. That you pay the money and spend the time and what you getis a bunch of blah. blah, blah. and you read the rest.

They are selling God for $5. And really, lets be honest that’s a bargain. Knowing you can meet God for five dollars, who wouldn’t take up this offer.
…unless of course, God doesn’t show up. and you find out that instead of God, you get a self righteous leader, who thinks he’s God… well, then I might be a little dissapointed…
But City Bible wouldn’t lie like that…. would they?

“You could…etc, etc…or work around the house, but there is little chance for God to change your life through those activities”
Heh.
It is said that someone once asked St. Francis of Assisi, whilst tending the garden, what he would do if he knew that Jesus was sure to return in the next few minutes.
His response was said to have been, “Well, I would finish digging this furrow here.”
We have come so far.

Guilt, shame, guilt, shame. Shame on you for even considering doing something else. Guilt if you don’t attend. Same ole story.

Once again, CBC seems to think they have the corner on God and the Holy Spirit! Ah, the arrogance. Why does it have to be breakfast? Why can’t the men of the church meet on the golf course, or by the side of the river, sharing together in the great outdoors of God’s Creation? No, they seem to think that the only place to meet God is in the unnatural confines of a dome shaped building while eating bad food. I’ll see you at the 19th hole… — FICM

It’s just more image. It’s like: our target customer (er, member) is a nice normal, white Republican who has Sat. morning off to golf and fish — while their lovely Stepford wives are all shopping and getting pedicures. Please, oh please see if you can fit God into your perfect life. Our God won’t demand much, you know. He just wants to make you richer and more successful. You just need to show up and pay up to receive the fabulous benefits.
gaaaahhh — I’m getting way too cynical. I repent.
