Lukewarm Church Songs
Submitted by Carol Skipper of Apron Strings Devotionals

[I don't know if this should be a joke or thought for the day]

The Lukewarm Church announces publication of "Church Songs," whose title, according to the editor, was chosen because "We didn't want to turn anybody off with threatening words that no one understands anymore like 'worship' or 'hymn.' People in today's society get kind of uncomfortable with too much talk about things like commitment and dedication. They'd much rather have a religion that they can turn on or off at will. Our book seeks to meet that need."
