The Bible driven church

Here is the new marketing strategy for those looking to join and participate in a Bible driven church. This is from the Covenant Theology blog site.

"Come to Our Church, where our desire to worship God is more important than your entertainment. It's not "dynamic worship" like most churches today, since we know you can get more dynamic music at the local bar on Saturday Night, and we can't compete with that. We preach the Word of God without any concern for whether or not it is "positive and uplifting". It may well be convicting, or even invoke fear or anger. But it will accomplish God's purpose. In our church, you can learn how to deny yourself, abase yourself, and put your love of self to death, since one who does not do so cannot be Christ's disciple. You'll be given a cross to carry, and must forsake all others, even to the point of hating even your own flesh for Christ sake, for those who will not do this are not worthy of Him. You will have trials, tribulation, and persecution for Christ's sake, and the world will hate you because it hates Christ. Come and be a part of us."
