I’m lost here.
Can you please tell me what the ‘road’ means here? What does it mean by ‘to cross the road’?
Oun.
Oun,
It’s a joke, derived from the “Why did the chicken cross the road,” genre of jokes.
Whey didn’t the evangelical cross the road?
Because they weren’t sure if the directions were inerrant or not.
He knew the road to hell was paved with good intentions and decided not to risk it.
10 reasons why a Calvary Chapel member didn’t cross the road.
1) As in all things, if Chuck Smith didn’t say to, or spoke against it, forget about it.
2) Because it wouldn’t make us “Distinctive” (refer to #1).
3) A semInary graduate is probably invoved (keep referring to the previous).
4) Almost as bad, a Calvinist is also involved.
5) Not quite as bad, but a denomination is also involved.
6) Because even though we critize all other ministries (including for things we do), they might critize how walk.
7) Since all internal criticism of Caesar, oops!, I mean the senior pastor, is considered of the devil, we’re once again involved in a split and damage control – we don’t have anyone to walk.
8) We’ve already had every get saved three times for the last walk crusades, we need some new people to get saved again for us.
9) Hold on! We haven’t made a “road” t-shirt or something we can peddle to our people to make some dinero off the road crusade.
10) Because we don’t see the RNC crossing yet.

Love your #7….. have you heard of Kaizer Leadership for churches?
The Evangelical did not cross the road because to his alarm on the other side stood several burly guys dressed in grey and navy blue suits. They were proud of their freshly cropped hair, sunglasses(from dollar general) and bibles tucked under their arms. They stood shoulder to shoulder with legs apart and firmly planted. Thier eyes could not be seen but their glare was felt..they peered..at the evangelicals ipod, “tsk” The Evangelical thought he heard one say..”is that U2? I’m hearing?” and then another responded “Yeah and verily, I think we need to escort this fellow to the Lords woodshed”
