Jim and Casper(to)Visit Every Single Church in America?- look for it 3010

Posted by Jim Henderson in category General Conversation, Hemant's Church Rating on February 14, 2007

In his hilarious (and brtutally honest) response to why we chose to go to review large churches, Casper suggests a possible solution. Visit every single church in America

We could become Americas Religious Road Warriors.

We of course would have to come up with some kind of pyramid scheme that would benefit Matt and I while appearing to be some kind of “giving back” movement. I think that would enable us to gain the support of the religionists who seem to be so easliy offended by honesty.

Mike O - I agree that Gilley stated his posiiton clearly and I thought for his audience made a compelling case
Randy- Table dancing must mean something completely different for me than is does for you
Rachel and Keith- Thanks for your kind words

    you reminded me of this. You can listen here

    It’s from here

    Drop kick me Jesus through the goal posts of life
    End over end neither left nor to right
    Straight through the heart of them righteous uprights
    Drop kick me Jesus through the goal posts of life.

    Make me, oh make me, Lord more than I am
    Make me a piece in your master game plan
    Free from the earthly tempestion below
    I’ve got the will, Lord if you’ve got the toe.

    Drop kick me Jesus through the goal posts of life
    End over end neither left nor to right
    Straight through the heart of them righteous uprights
    Drop kick me Jesus through the goal posts of life.

    Take all the brothers who’ve gone on before
    And all of the sisters who’ve knocked on your door
    All the departed dear loved ones of mine
    Stick’em up front in the offensive line.

    Drop kick me Jesus through the goal posts of life
    End over end neither left nor to right
    Straight through the heart of them righteous uprights
    Drop kick me Jesus through the goal posts of life.

    Yeah, Drop kick me Jesus through the goal posts of life
    End over end neither left nor to right
    Straight through the heart of them righteous uprights
    Drop kick me Jesus through the goal posts of life.

    or if you want, here’s a youtube video of the church choir from Unity Church of Bakersfield singing it. I actually find this video really frightening because it is *so* reminiscent of the church I grew up in, which I guess I still have a lot of emotional baggage from.

    To me, this Drop Kick Me Jesus thing, at least in the Bakersville church version, looks like some folks poking a little fun at themselves. Which always strikes me as healthy. What am I missing?

    oh–I don’t think you’re missing anything. It’s freaking hilarious. I just have some baggage associated with the … clothing style, decoration, and so forth.
