What do you think?
What if Starbucks Marketed Like a Church? A Parable.
To you, O LORD, I call; my rock, be not deaf to me, lest, if you be silent to me, I become like those who go down to the pit. Hear the voice of my pleas for mercy, when I cry to you for help, when I lift up my hands toward your most holy sanctuary. (Psalm 28:1-2, ESV)
You become like what you worship. You reflect the one you worship.
Friends I know through blogging
Those who help me understand what He said
What we think He is saying
What the world is saying
What the world is expressing
We depend so much on technology, yet we hardly care to know anything about it.
Great minds I finished (or gave up) wrestling with
Great minds that demand me to wrestle with
Where they are

Awesome.
The thing is, if you try not to do it this way, people will accuse you of not having an evangelistic heart….

Good question.
If church is marketed like Starbucks, then:
1. it better prepares itself to open until midnight
2. it should encourage the culture of small-talks
3. it must function as a third place
plus of course, other evil stuff…
