Words can't really express what these 2 videos do:
Watch both and then share your thoughts.
And Now:
You might say they dont have a thing in common, but I believe they show the difference between what the church thinks is important and the reality of what is important.

that's a very dramatic comparison isn't it? thanks for that
I've seen people evangelise like this and been told off for not doing so. About time someone pointed it out.
On top of that, I notice there are no real answers to the issues in the second one. But at least they are looking at the problem. It shows where we need to be.
There's really no comparing satire to social commentary. Didn't laugh at all at the first one but started crying about halfway through the second one.
Thanks. I needed to see that...

yeah....the sinner's prayer doesn't exactly get to the heart of actual pain does it? That type of evangalism is like giving a bandaid to someone who starving to death. It doesn't hardly make any kind of sense.
Its comforting to know there are other people thinking these things.
Oh how I laughed and laughed.. and then got a little scared cuz I know people like this... don't we all.
good comparison!
Yes Jesus cares about the plight of people on earth. He cared about people participating in the Kingdom and not waiting for heaven to enjoy Him.
Our relationship with God, the life Jesus lived and His death and resurrection is about more than eternity, it's about all of life.
"And this is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent." John 17:3
Wow Grant,
If by your fruits we shall know if you are a Christian then you must be a lemon tree Christian. Because otherwise one might look at your fruit and find it a touch sour. Try this, listen to the small still voice of God. If he tells you to be a sanctimonious jerk then maybe it is not God that you are listening to. It is not enough to believe that everything in the Bible is the Word of God. you have to read it.
As for your comments about LRozelle: when you assume the worst and respond accordingly you are sinning. You are stealing his good name when his comments could be read in an opposite way. That makes you a thief and guilty of breaking the commandment Thou Shall Not Steal. I call upon you to repent. While i wait I shall pray for you. I ask everyone else to pray for me because after this post I really need it.
Best wishes,

Hello Grant,
I am a wicked and sinful man. Even in my salvation I wallow in near Pauline sinfulness. I know this and am working on it.
The point is we need God within us to guide us to those acts which work to increase the body of Christ. Jerry refers to this as being Missional. I think of this as the Holy Spirit working in our sanctification. So lighten up. Show us God within you in your fruits.
Best wishes,
Barry O'Connell
