While We Are Talking About Charlotte Easter Extravaganzas

For the past couple years another of the local churches in Charlotte has run adds announcing that they intend to have a $100.00 raffle on Easter.

Word is that if you get saved during the Easter service that increases your odds that you’ll win the bucks.

OK …. so the second sentence is a joke. But the raffle part is true. They incite people to the Easter service by promising them a possibility of winning some cash.

I was thinking about doing a promotion that included promising a night with a local Hooker for the “lucky” winner who attended our Easter services.

Think that would pack them in?

Your biggest help to me dear reader will be to often remind me that God is Sovereign and that all that is, is because it pleases him.

  1. I might come…lol not. however I would not say hookers and a raffle are exactly comparing apples and apples.

  2. G Hogs,

    You’re right I was exaggerating.

    However the comparison is found in the illicit bribing of people to come to church for the most boneheaded of reasons.
