I had a similar incident where I was hired to play bass for a Christian rock show (pathetic I know, but I needed the money). Afterward I was asked which church I go to. The next day, he went to my church's website and copied the names and emails of the entire staff directory (about 12) and sent them all an identical email telling them about how his music is inspiring and they really should consider hiring him to come perform some Sunday morning - dropping my name to add legitimacy. I can't even begin to imagine my pastor's reaction. I was mortified. It was made worse because I had recently been given a small paid position at the church. The first thing I did was call the Kantor and apologize profusely. Thankfully no harm was done and we all laughed. The nerve of these people amazes me. They act like if you don't share in their inauthentic vanilla pop music you must not be a real Christian.
Oh no!!! I used to work for a church and I remember getting calls like this from time to time. However, the free mailings that came from groups like this were always good for a few laughs.
Oh thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!!! I LOVE it!!!!! And yes, I too have heard from Blue Fish...."Oh, please, just go away and learn about the gospel!!!!"
"I really need to talk with a youth minister. So if you could just get him for me, that would be great." "Fine, hold on...*walks away, comes back wearing a disguise* I'm the youth minister..."
Henrietta Mears once opened the box of Sunday school booklets she had ordered, read the sentence “Paul survived the shipwreck because he had eaten carrots and was strong”, closed the box again, mailed it back to the publishers and started writing her own curriculum.
Look like you were thrown up by an Abercrombie and Fitch catalog! I laughed for 5 minutes straight. Hard! Sadly, many so called pastors resemble that joke!
Me: "What's Bluefish ministries?" Wikipedia: "Bluefish TV works with well-known Christian speakers and authors like Erwin McManus, Don Miller, Margaret Feinberg, Doug Fields, Jars of Clay, MercyMe, Les Parrott, Louie Giglio, Third Day, and Chris Tomlin to produce small group studies..." Me: "never mind"
all solid doctrine, except 3:00 you don't worship to receive forgiveness, you worship in response to being forgiven. If you do anything to receive forgiveness that's works.
No, as a confessional Lutheran, I go to private confession regularly, to receive personal absolution. I go to Divine Service (Mass..a little Easter at every divine service) to receive the general absolution and the real corporal body and blood of Christ in the blessed sacrament for the forgiveness of sins. Dose Jesus come to your Church?.? Not at non-denominational/Baptist church, but He does at a Confessional Lutheran Divine Service . We receive absolution, we feast on the corporal body and blood of Christ for the forgiveness of sins. We go to Mass to receive the gifts of word (law/gospel) and sacrament (absolution & body and blood of Christ, the Blessed Sacrament).

Who wouldn't want the most up to date suggestions on proper sheep stealing techniques?
Hold on...
"I'm the youth minister." I cannot believe I wasn't aware this existed. Epic.
Oh thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!!! I LOVE it!!!!! And yes, I too have heard from Blue Fish...."Oh, please, just go away and learn about the gospel!!!!"
I absolutely love this and wish my whole church could see it!

Superb. I laughed so hard the first time I missed half the jokes. Sharing this one all over the net.
. . . in case you have trouble thinking of something worse than the real Dave Matthews Band.

Scarily accurate.
Please go away forever. Well played.

So, you believe that confessing our sins is works????
