Come to Church and win a new car
When we were driving through Georgia last week we heard an ad for a church (an evangelical church) that invited people to come to their church and enter their name and they could possibly win a new car. I do not wish to comment on the marketing ploy used by that church but I also heard a church advertise on the Detroit station to buy tickets on a classic car and help raise money for their homeless shelter. I wonder waht George Mueller or Hudson Taylor would have said about their methods? Instead of trusting God to be their provider these churches have followed the ways of the world.

I guess this means that you're not going to be doing any give-aways in order to get more readers of your blog?
It's funny that you specified that it was an evangelical church in Georgia that was advertising that promotion, cause I wouldn't have expected it from any other religious group... you don't hear that from the Roman Catholics, the Muslims or even the Wiccans. Sometimes I wonder if they have more of a fear-of-the-Lord than most western evangelicals?
It is appalling how little confidence there is in the gospel to save souls. If the gospel can't save, how will a car give away help?
