Jeremy and I are planning on preaching on the Town Square in Springfield tomorrow afternoon. Yes, this is the same Springfield that threatened us with arrest of last year. But after the threat of a lawsuit they have agreed to not enforce their ordnance which they had specifically fashioned against us to stop us from preaching. They have not yet had time to officially rewrite/correct the ordinance.
The headliner for the bicentennial celebration is a band called Shenandoah. Supposedly a Christian band, of course. Jeremy did a little research into some of the lyrics. Here is what Jeremy sent me:

Thought you might like to check out my lyric research on the good ol' "christian" country bands for Sunday...
Shenandoah Lyrics: "Little Bit Of Livin"
A little sip of somethin' on a Friday night
A little buzz a-burnin' never felt so right
Pretty little thing, gonna let you by
A little sip of somethin' on a Friday night
chorus ...If you ain't got a little, better get you some
A little bit of livin' never killed no one ---> never killed no one?? Rom 6:23 The wages of sin is death - Ezek 18:20 (also vs. 4) The soul that sinneth, it shall die.
"Rock My Baby"
After work, me and the boys
Go down to Killey's and we make some noise
Feed that old jukebox and play some air guitar
Well and there's nothin' wrong with shootin' pool
And having some fun and acting a fool - NOTHING WRONG with fools?? Ps. 53:1 The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. Corrupt are they, and have done abominable iniquity, Ecl 5:1 ...fools: for they consider not that they do evil., Prov 14:9 Fools make a mock at sin:, Prov 13:20 a companion of fools shall be destroyed. Prov 13:9 it is abomination to fools to depart from evil. Prov 1:32 the prosperity of fools shall destroy them. Prov 1:7 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction.
I'm going home and rock my baby tonight...
Champagne and a box of candy
A dozen roses might come in handy
To help loosen up those apron strings ---> Sure... use some booze to help "rock" his baby. All this from the band that sings "Heaven Bound"
"Heaven Bound"
(I'm Ready) Its been a long day, Lord, and I've worked hard
But now I'm goin' to my final reward ---> Yep. Boozin', buzzin' fools have a final reward in a furnace of fire! Matt 13:41-42
It's your love and I just can't wait
To be standin' at the pearly gates
Restless Heart Lyrics: "That Rock Won't Roll"
Then we'll see if that rock won't roll,
They say the girl's got a heart of stone.
That rock won't roll,
Oh, but she's too pretty to be alone.
I've got all this love inside me,
And I've just got to see,
If that rock won't roll.
"Why Does It Have To Be (Wrong Or Right)" - One filthy, rotten adultery song, literally blaspheming God's Word by the very title question, and then saying "somebody please tell me"
It's no secret
Somebody waits at home for you
And I know how hard
This is for you to do
So if you really believe
This love is so wrong
We don't have to carry on
But still I wonder
Why does it have to be
Wrong or right?
Why does it have to be
One way or the other?
Won't somebody please
Please tell me
Why does it have to be
Black or white?
Why do we have to hurt
One to love another?
Oh, tell me why?
Why does it have to be? ---> Why? Why is adultery a black and white issue? Why do we "HAVE TO"... commit adultery?! "Won't somebody please tell me?" Yeah, it's called the HOLY BIBLE heathen! HE told you. All of this abominable filth from the band that recorded "O Holy Night" and "Angels We Have Heard On High", of course the easy money X-mas project.
