 Church entertainment

Church entertainment?

Whatever means you use to get people into the church
is precisely what you must use to keep them.

If you get them with a 'religious circus', then you
must keep the circus going--keep up the entertainment.
If you get them with biblical preaching and teaching, then
that will keep them and you will not need the entertainment.

-Ernest Reisinger

 Re: Church entertainment

I had a discussion about this last night with my father. If a church alters its methods in order to be "most relevant" and unoffensive to "get people in the door", then each Sunday they will have to continue the program or else they will bore or offend the newest crop of visitors people.

It is the gospel message that matters most;
and we need to proclaim the truth faithfully!!

I haven't, but the excerpts are great. I'll put that on the long list. Thanks!
