The kitchen is used to keep the active members, restore the inactive ones, and to get the prospects in the church. Sports have now made a full fledged invasion of the churches. There are the church softball leagues, the church basketball leagues, and the church bowling leagues. This of course costs a lot of money for uniforms and equipment, but it can usually be raised. Because it is going for such a good cause.
Entertainment is used to draw a crowd.
The entertainer who can draw a crowd, and yet throw in a little religion, is very much in demand. If you can play a tune on whisky bottles, cow bells, or a saw, you have got it made. The crowds come to hear the sordid story of their lives, which usually glorifies the flesh rather than God. We live in a day when it is commonly believed that anything is good if it works. We make bold to say that these cheap methods do work, they do produce results.
