That is unheard of in today's society where I want my dvd mailed to me, food ready and perfect within 15 minutes, big backyard, etc..<BR/><BR/>I applaud the folks at that church. Many times we take a stand on an issue no matter the consequences (maybe feeling self-righteous as Saul once did),but non-Christians look at how we approach life and the issues we don't agree with. It's just like being a parent; we can't say 1 thing and practice another. <BR/><BR/>God has blessed the church there with more traffic and probably some publicity in the paper and around town. It's what is heard on the golf course, at the ladies luncheon or at the beauty shop/barber shop that affect how people view others.<BR/><BR/>Matt BAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
