In the latest issue of Christianity Today, there’s an article about a church that meets below I-35 in Waco, Texas. They minister to the kind of people who would be more at home under an overpass than at a church building. The article tells some great stories, but my favorite is how the church has taken Toby Keith’s song, “I Love This Bar” and modified it as follows:
We got winners, we got losers, chain smokers and boozers,
And we got yuppies, we got bikers, we got thirsty hitchhikers,
And the girls next door dress up like movie stars.
Hmmm, I love this church.
I’ve seen short skirts, we’ve go high-techs, blue-collar boys and rednecks
And we’ve got lovers, lots of lookers,
I’ve seen dancin girls and hookers
And we like to worship where the pigeons perch,
Hmmm, I love this church.
