I Don't Know What To Think...

I had an idea as I drove into school today...

I want to start a church inside of a bar. Not one central place, but more of a travelling church: different locations, different times. What I will do is not preach to the people about how bad they are or give them 3-5 points to a better life, but I just want to let them know that this is where Jesus would be. Though he wouldn't be throwing down totally with them, he would be getting to know them and at times sharing the promises that God has for them.

I've told 4-5 people about this idea and they all say the same thing, "There are already Christians playing in bars". THe thing to remember is, how many of them are closing the place down? Most of them leave as soon as their set is over. My point is to have a merch booth that will sell random ron pai paraphenelia, but also give out information on places they can go for help or causes that they can help me support or even web sites that they can visit after they visit mine that can help them with addictions of anysorts (ie: xxxchurch.com).

I was also thinking that this could be a community of musicians and so that they can go to random bars and play (different styles of music playing for the same cause).

Here's a thought for you: What if we found 4-6 bars that would open up their bar on Sunday nights and allowed us to do an actual service there. Sundays are usually the dead night anyways. People show up for church who know about it, but people who don't know about it will just be there. The thing is, we would only know where the church service would be if you looked on the website. So again, it's a traveling service. All we would have to do is show up, plug in, and go. This is a very different thought, not quite radical, but different.

CD listening to: I got the Killers cd "Hot Fuss". I love it. It reminds me of the Cure. I love the cure and so should you.
