"Cowboy" Church?

Haven't you ever noticed the one on Hwy. 157 going toward Moulton? Instead of cars, there's horses out front.

I suppose that a cowboy church is a great idea.  Go for it.

Hi JT,

You are right.  It does not matter what the church is called; nor how one gets to church -- on horseback, walking, or driving.  The main point is to get there and share Christian fellowship, prayer, study of His Word, and worship of our God together.

There is a great Gospel song which says it very well:

It’s Not What’s Over The Door

1.  Some people think today, If heaven you would see,
You must belong to their church, Or be lost eternally.
But according to God's word, What He's still looking for,
Is what He finds within your heart,

And not what's over the door.

It's not what's over the door Of the church that you attend,
That makes you a child of God, And a heavenly citizen.
As the eyes of the Lord look this world o'er,

There’s just one thing He's lookin’ for
Can’t you see that’s what’s in your heart,

And not what's over the door.

2.  Does Jesus live in your heart, And have you been born again,
Has the blood of calvary's Lamb, Washed away all your sins?
Are you fully trusting in, The crucified risen Lord,
Can't you see that it's what's in your heart,

And not what's over the door.

As long as the church believes and teaches the Essential Christian Doctrines of:

1. The Deity of Jesus Christ -- God incarnate -- fully a man; yet, fully God.
2. The Trinity -- God eternally existing; manifested (revealed) in three persons: Father, Son, Holy Spirit.
3.  The Bible -- Is the inspired Written Word of God and is the sole authority for Christian faith, salvation, and our Christian life.
4. Salvation by Grace -- By grace you are saved, through faith in Jesus Christ -- plus nothing else.
5. The Resurrection of Christ -- He rose from the dead, that we may also be resurrected into eternal life.
6. The Gospel -- The birth, death, resurrection, and ascension of Jesus Christ according to Scripture.
7.  Heaven and Hell -- Both are real places and are the only two eternal destinations available to all mankind.

If the church teaches these beliefs -- the folks can wear cowboy hats or the latest New York fashions; for what counts is: Do they have Jesus Christ in their hearts?

God bless, have a wonderful, blessed day,

Bill

After they get a few "love offerings" they can get one of those spiffy fiberglass "gawd tubs".

Isn't that a horse trough that girl is sitting in?

Yes it is, but it's ok because it's for girl horses.
