April 4, 1999 (David W. Cloud, Fundamental Baptist Information Service, P.O. Box 610368, Port Huron, MI 48061-0368, fbns@wayoflife.org) – Recently we received a glossy advertisement in the mail announcing the "Grand Opening Celebration" of a church in Oklahoma City. Listed were the "top ten reasons to attend":

* We are so relaxed it takes us an hour and a half to watch "60 Minutes."
* Our singles are above average looking.
* Your kids will drag YOU back.
* Some call us the flock that rocks.
* We play every sport but badminton.
* No perfect people allowed.
* Your teens will trade their Playstation for a Bible.
* You can wear what you slept in to church.
* Our pastor looks like Tom Cruise.

This "church" is confused. When the Lord said, "Go ye therefore, and teach all nations," they thought He said, "Go ye therefore, and please all nations."
