Love (God) In Da Club (or Bar)

Here’s one for the ages…

SIDNEY, Ohio – Another round and amen! Beer was on tap and a mechanical bull inspired the sermon as a new church held its inaugural service in a western Ohio bar.

The Country Rock Church drew about 100 people to Sunday night’s meeting at the Pub Lounge in Sidney, 35 miles north of Dayton.

The barroom church is an offshoot of Sidney United First Methodist Church, whose head pastor says he’s been looking for creative ways to reach people in unconventional places.

The church’s Web site for its new branch advertises “Top regional bands, pizza, wings, rowdy fun & a short message.”

The Rev. Chris Heckaman says people really seemed to enjoy themselves so he expects the Country Rock Church will meet weekly.

Heckaman’s sermon compared staying on the bar’s mechanical bull to learning how to get along in life.

“Rowdy fun and a short message?” Wow…well, isn’t this the Walmart of society’s Christian life.  Sin and repent in the same place huh?  I commend the pastor for being unorthodox, but he has a task in front of him.  I can’t even get my drunk Uncle to listen to me.  If he preaches from 1 Cor. 6:10 or Eph 5:18, then the congregation is gonna give him the SEOD (Side Eye of Death).

Now…in the previous post, I told you about the reason for having kids (via Lil Wayne).  SMH!  Now, just when you thought things couldn’t get worse, stuff like this happens:

and here’s the update:

This truly breaks my heart.  Kids coming into this world, and the parents who don’t know the reason or purpose of a child, exposing the child to such foolish acts.  If you don’t know the purpose of something, abuse is inevitable. Abuse = abnormal use.  Prayer is a necessity.

The Blospel’s SMH edition: Reasons for having kids.

Hello to my fellow readers. As most of you know, my wife and I are just weeks away from being first time parents. Prior to the pregnancy, I was very passionate about parenthood. My biggest pet peeve is bad parenting, hence my passion. If I could, I would love to be a Family Therapist. Anywho, I believe that many parents have children without knowing the purpose of a child. No, it’s not a baby doll, a tax deduction, a lock to a relationship that you don’t want to end, etc. Many children grow up with the same issues as their parents, creating this generational cycle (or snowball effect) of bad parenting, and misguided children. At any rate, I’ve heard many reasons for having a child, but this one takes the cake:
