Re: Colored Lights/Smoke Machines/Strobe Bright Li

Two years ago our church threw a block party, with music, food, games, giveaways, etc, as a way to reach out to the community.

I guess there are some who would say then that we were resorting to "worldly gimmicks" and "entertainment", blah blah, blah. Whatever.

And what about other modern innovations like jumbo video screens in church, Powerpoint presentations, etc? Is that stuff too worldly too?

Your post was dumb not because of your methods of evangelism, as i already stated we know you are attempting to be absurd...and that is why we call it dumb. Absurd. You built this absurd post based on the idea that anything is ok, but nobody here argued that.

Excellent point, TR......unfortunately, in this fray, common sense and logic will not prevail.
