Here is an interesting article from Craig Gross over at xxx church. It'll take a second and read the comments too, but check it out and then come back...
What do you guys think? Is it all a clever marketing ploy? What exactly does it mean to be in the world but not of it? Does this cross the line (Hooters, Porn Shows, Club appearences, etc)? Or is this exactly where Jesus would be?
My dad has a quote under the glass top of his desk that goes something like this:
"Some try to save people from the safety of the pew or the church bell. I want to run a rescue shop within a yard of hell"
They certainly have done some things that have made me wonder about "the line" but on the other hand, for a lot of men, they might be the last stop between a life with Christ and a life of despair.
What do you think?

I'll step up to the plate. I understand that for a successful means to combat your opponent, you need to know and understand your opponent. However, at the same time, I am not willingly going to indulge myself in surroundings or activities that they are active in. I work at a beer company... but I don't go to events, bars, or clubs where alcohol is served. I don't need that in my life. At the office, I'm in a controlled environment where I can still minster to those who choose to listen. However, sometimes people don't want to listen; whether I am like them (drinking) or not. You've brought up a good question and I think everyone will have a different outlook on it but I for one, think it is too far.
