I know I'm getting old and sometimes the possibility of dementia creeping in is a scary thought but are you kidding me? When all else fails it's time for the ntcc to have workshops about ministry related topics such as music, choirs, PA systems, Church Admin, Children's Church and more! These sound like very exciting times in the ntcc. Let's pack up our oil puking junkers and drive a couple thousand miles to Washington so they can give us campus tours and hand out information packets for potential students and aspiring ministers. Excuse me a second while I ram two fingers deep into my throat so I can puke at the thought of what the ntcc has turned into. While these people are continuing down this path of compromise and activities I guess that God is going to have to move through another organization and raise up another man so that His gospel of Christ being lifted up and glorified can be preached. It's just not happening any more in the ntcc.
In all fairness, I guess there's nothing wrong with skits and workshops, but come on! This is the very thing that Rev. Davis and Ashmore used to preach about. Worldliness and religion. If we can't get our numbers up by preaching old time salvation through the blood of Christ let's do something new. Activities, tours, skits, demonstrations and workshops and at the bottom of the list is prayer meetings. It's gonna be awesome!! It's gonna be fun!! It's gonna save you money on food and hotel expenses? Please explain this one to us mIke. Are you going to open up your homes and motor homes to church members so they can have a place to camp out? Or is attendance so far down that the dorms are empty? If for no other reason, come to conference because Washington is beautiful.
What really gnaws at my gizzard is the final disclaimer in this announcement. "Some things listed above are subject to change but the date and place of the conference is confirmed". That's just wonderful. You mean we are going to pack up our crayons, construction paper and scissors and drive all the way to Washington just to find out that the agenda has changed? You are going to lure us thousands of miles out to Graham in hopes of seeing skits and demonstrations, just to do what, take up a bunch of offerings? When will you realize that it's not working anymore? You can't change the house of God into a theater and expect people to come from all around to see skits and demonstrations. Or maybe you can if you are a cult and your members are so brainwashed that they don't know the difference anymore.
