Sinners, Jesus died for your sins. But no pass for you this Easter.

[Johny Joe Hold]

Last time I talked to Pastor Zeke, he was deep into preparations for his Easter Sunday sermon. We talked for a while about the phony Christians who show up in church twice a year, Easter and Christmas.

Then, there are churches that promote their services, thinking if people show up say at Easter they will return the next Sunday.

I think churches should not advertise their Easter Sunday services. Instead sinners should be told they are not welcome.

Pastor Zeke did not say this, but I would not be surprised if he asks for a show of hands from people who admit to being sinners--then has ushers remove them.

In German we call them "U-Boot-Christen" (= "submarine Christians") because they only emerge on Easter and Christmas. It's like getting married and then only meet twice a year Jesus doesn't hear their prayers. Being a Christian is a 24/7 job.

Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom. - Luke 12:32

A fair and reasonable policy.

God loves sinners... without them His pastors would have nothing to do, and would get bored, turn to drugs and... become sinners (yikes!).. bit like a pest control person being told that the town was completely free of wasps and to go home...

Sinners give pastors something to live for... Hallejujah!

Please post Scripture that explicitly says that God loves sinners. Book, chapter, verse.

Yours in Christ,

Pastor Zeke does not need sinners. He casts them out.
