    I disagree with the bolded, enlarged portion of your post. (UNless you are strictly talking about the area you are in..) because South Parkersburg Baptist church has a very effective cafe ministry. (This is the church I was talking about in an earlier post our state convention was held there a couple yrs ago, and I LOVED the internet cafe between services!)... So it does work in WV.

    And your evidence from Scripture to have a coffee house in a church is found where? When did the Great Commission or the ministry of the church become providing a "Starbucks experience"? And please defend this specific practice from Scriptural mandate which commands that churches should have a "coffee house" in their "church". Dear friend, the burden of proof is on those would include this as part of a biblical ministry.

    Do you have pews in your church? I hope not because it's not in Scripture.

    However, Scripture tells us that the early church often met together and "broke bread" and fellowshipped.

    No where did I say that we are commanded to have a coffee house in their church but to offer coffee and a snack is not a sin nor is it against the Word of God.

    HUH??? Can you use some more words to make the sentences make sense? I have no idea what you're saying. In the first sentence, you are a big gulp?? In the second, what's the subject??

    ok. You are a hard core promoter of folks eating out on the Lord's Day (Sunday). That is fine. Blessing to you!

    What you are doing is judging these folks by Sabbatarian doctrine.

    So I assume you do not buy the Sunday or Monday edition of the paper, you never buy gas on Sunday

    You sound like that no business transaction should take place on Sunday. Even the opponents of Christ tried to trick Christ about healing on Saturday.

    So except for going to church, you come straight home, correct? Of course your church is with in a distance of Biblical stand ands from your home ( that would be about one mile)

    You follow ALL Blue laws to the extreme - and no I am not joking about this.

    Thank you dear friend. So was Thomas Manton an anti-sabbaterian?
