>> Some of the most committed believers I know, who loved the Lord deeply, still occasionally swear, drink on occasion<<

That has always amused me that Christ Himself made water into wine for the guests to drink but some of today’s so called Christians hyperventilate.

>> Turns out some of the best witnessing I’ve done was in a bar with some friends.<<

Same here. It’s really, really sad that people feel more welcome in a bar than they do in many churches. I loved country song where the guy went to church and ended up sitting outside.

I’ve heard it said before that people are going to be SHOCKED at who is in the rapture...and who is NOT.. I agree with that.

The Outlaws Prayer by Johnny Paycheck most likely from what you are saying.

Another artist as liberal as can be wrote or sang two songs that IMO are two great sermons in just over three minutes. The guy is Kris Kristofferson. He wrote and sang Why Me aka {Why Me Lord} the other was actualy written by Larry Gatlin and sang by both him and Kristofferson called "Help Me". Then I stop and think about another song Kristofferson did called The Pilgrim Chapter 33 which at one point without GOD's intervention could have been my outcome.

Another good sermon in a song IMO is "America Again" by Carmen. If I could name one country artist album that has goten me through many years of different challanges I would have to say Willie Nelson's "Troublemaker" album. It's the one I learned to play six string by. IMO it's his best work. I also like an album Emmylou Harris and Ricky Skaggs did called Roses in the snow namely three songs on it. The Darkest Hour, Green Pastures, and Jordon which also has Johnny Cash.
