Church or Pizza?

I was watching a vid I like

I got to clickin' around and found some other vids by them. 

In the comments, someone said "they sound like For Today."

So, who is For Today?

Oh!

 

You have got to get a load of this guy... Mattie Montgomery . He's the lead singer.

"For years, Mattie Montgomery and his wife Candice have spearheaded an evangelistic ministry that has seen tens-of-thousands of salvations..."

Tens of THOUSANDS of salvations?! This guy preaches AND sings in a metalcore band!

TENS OF THOUSANDS...

Now, for the past 4-1/2 years, I've seen what does NOT work first hand. 

I've gone to churches, churches that shrank instead of growing.

I've heard preaching ABOUT things, but never saw them first hand.

I heard about things that HAVE happened or USED TO happen.

I even saw GOD deliver a beautiful miracle one night, then the church threw dirt on top of it and swept it under the rug!

The church TALKS about a God that heals,

about a God that delivers,

about a God that saves,

a God that has power,

but let me tell you something-

TALK IS CHEAP!

Show me the goods baby!

You can tell me how good a pizza is.

You can show me pictures.

You can show me movies.

You can even tell me how many you've had and just how great they really are.

But, 

that isn't enough.

Go get me one and take me from being a "believer" and CONVINCE me!

I dare you!

I double dare you!

I double dog dare you!
