But it is sad - this is really what we are coming too. Eric forgot, "Press 5 to attend our Easter egg hunt and worship celebration at the (insert your local area mall here) mall. Right next to Starbucks." I love it! But it is sad – this is really what we are coming too.

Too many churches are run like business enterprises and/or entertainment centers. It’s too true to be funny. Too many churches are run like business enterprises and/or entertainment centers.

I put a message for delievery to the numbers of the men of our church to remind them of our men's Bible study the upcoming Saturday. The message was to go out on Thursday. The delivery protocol could be set to begin at the time selected. The program had a default of 12:01 AM. You guessed it -- I forgot to set the delievery time, and it started dialing out at 12:01 Thursday AM. I had it dial me first in sequence, so I knew that it was operating. But when I realized what was happening, I couldn't dial in to the computer to stop it. It called about 20 guys to deliver its message. I heard from only one person, though -- he just said he figured there'd been a goof-up, and shrugged it off. I stopped using that feature of the voicemail card after that, and went to postcards for reminders (this was in the day before many had email).

I kid you not. My wife and I took this for about 5 minutes, and then got up in the middle of the service and walked out.
