YBPDLNPL Ping
What does this fellow think church should be?
Boy, he better not go to my church these people seem tame compared to them.
YBPDLNPL?
Heaven forbid!
Nobody carrying the 1611 King James Version?
How on earth can they claim to be right with God?
Maybe he expected it to resemble what we read about in the New Testament.
“It was a very causal event. I did see five or six women carrying what seemed to be Bibles, although surely not a KJV!”
(gasp) NO! Not KJV???? OH the huge manatee!
We don’t SPEAK in “thees” and “thous” we don’t read in them either, newer versions are more easily understood and read.
I assume he has no problem singing all four stanzas of the same 400 year old hymnal every Sunday morning for the last 40 years.
Your Best Purpose Driven Life Now Ping List
I detect an agenda at work here.
You’ve got to admit, “You are good, all the time” is a little lite on meaning. Please at least admit that.
Perhaps. But remembering that “God is good, ALL the time” has gotten me through the last several months, which were quite difficult for our family. ALL the time means in the good times and bad, happy and sad, GOD IS GOOD. His mercy endures forever.
Here are the full lyrics. Which part do you object to?
______________________________________
God is good all the time
He put a song of praise in this heart of mine
God is good all the time
Through the darkest night, His light will shine
God is good, God is good all the time
If you’re walking through the valley
And there are shadows all around
Do not fear, He will guide you
He will keep you safe and sound
‘Cause He’s promised to never leave you
Nor forsake you and His Word is true
Chorus
We were sinners - so unworthy
Still for us He chose to die
Filled us with His Holy Spirit
Now we can stand and testify
That His love is everlasting
And His mercies - they will never end
Chorus
The agenda I perceive is one of exposing unbiblical crap that passes for church in many buildings. His comments on the KJV is not the centerpiece; I dare say many people carry books that have the word “Bible” printed on them but bear diminishing resemblance on the inside to what He directed to be written - perhaps The Living Bible or The Message (gag).
Part of the lyrics of that song are absolutely right on - perhaps all of them. But the repetition of a phrase for many times (if it was 40, it would have been at Saddleback) is vain.
Let me guess. The people who go to these services all have sticker book collections.
Sorry, there is an agenda here. I don't care for WC, but this guy went in trying to "expose" stuff that he actually hated. It wasn't an open-minded visit to see what they do.
I think it’s a different song, from “The Gospel” soundtrack (also re-done by Lincoln Brewster, called “You are Good, All the Time.” Either way, the songs are fine and prais the Lord. This guy just had an axe to grind.
Seems like I saw an article some time back in which Hybels admitted the "Willow Creek" model had essentially failed to evangelize and disciple people. I wonder if anything's changed in his sermon content.
Hey, Dr. Boys, if you didn’t like Willow Creek, don’t ever attend a Promise Keepers event!

Or at least, have some kind of Bible.
