SUNDAY MORINING SERMON-HEY THERE, ALL YOU SINNERS

I had some Baptists stop my the house the other day trying to get me to attend their church and be saved. I'm not much into church, and definitely not much into being saved. I guess I don't quite see the point of either. I for sure don't like churches that emphasis sinning and sinners. I don't need to put $20 in the offering every Sunday just to have someone tell me I goofed up. I already know that. The question is, if I screwed up, what am I going to do about it? Hardly seems adequate that I repent. If I drink too much, am I going to quit? If I cuss and carry on in front of my kids, when am I going to stop? If I'm screwing the neighbors wife, when am I going to zip it up? If I'm violent by nature, when am I going to settle down? I told them a born again experience is worthless without ongoing lifestyle changes and pledging to live your life with Christ as the model, not the preacher or the deacons, or some yahoo television evangelist. I told them I don't see many born-again's doing that. They all want me to be impressed with their newfound way, but don't seem to be working at it. When they left they seemed a bit dejected. I hope I didn't ruin their delusions.
