Individuals who help found new churches were already required to sign a statement agreeing to abide by the organization's policy on alcohol consumption. Some of the new language requires those who receive money from the convention to go a step further and "teach the strong Biblical warnings of the consumption of alcohol for all Christians."
I keep getting in deeper and deeper trouble. According to the Pyro guys I believe in a leaky canon because I speak in tongues and prophecy. Jerry Falwell just called me a heretic because I'm a Calvinist. And now I can't get money from the MBC because I drink alcohol. I sure hope no one finds out about my cigars.
Oops.

At least they haven't got photographic evidence.... oh, wait.
Gotta love the Vineyard - they'll take anyone. Even pinko lefties like me :)
We used to have worship team parties at our guitarist, Joey's, house. He'd have a full bar available and enjoyed mixing drinks. Nobody every got drunk, but I found it always tested my liberal policy on stuff like that. Always reminded me that I have some old hangups I need to let go!
Rick,
Don't forget that you can't be an SBC missionary because you speak in tongues AND you consume alcohol.
I love the blog that you have. I was wondering if you would link my blog to yours and in return I would do the same for your blog. If you want to, my site name is American Legends and the URL is:
www.americanlegends.info
If you want to do this just go to my blog and in one of the comments just write your blog name and the URL and I will add it to my site.
Thanks,
David
