Around here, in Erie, PA, not even for one or two feet of snow, or more. Those who will, will come,and surprising how many do.

Troy Day Do churches cancel services for the Bowl. That is, the few who still have night services.

If you are not part of a local church, you shouldn’t be out preaching in the open-air.
There’s too many unaccountable preachers out there doing more damage than good.
Rebellion is usually the root of it. Unwillingness to submit to anyone, which ultimately points to an unwillingness to submit to God Himself.
Remember, the Lord doesn’t need your evangelism, but he does require your obedience.

Troy Day There is a false premise in connection to your post You wrote “Remember, the Lord doesn’t need your evangelism, but he does require your obedience.” Actually Mark 16:15 the word preach is in the aorist imperative active — meaning stop what you are doing and immediately proclaim the gospel as you are going (not coming to church). Nowhere is church attendance mentioned. AS I endorse gathering together, it is not connected with a person proclaiming the gospel as ordered by Jesus. We must stop out theology being driven by our traditions (eisegesis) and have the truth dug out from the word and then obeyed. Playing church is not our answer.

Troy Day it is about your reply to the church in the snow hut “If you are not part of a local church, you shouldn’t be out preaching in the open-air.

John Mushenhouse Well now If you are not part of a local church, you shouldn’t be out preaching in the open-air. Joseph D. Absher always talks about accountability here

Troy Day well it is time to talk about what the bible says and not our traditions and upbringing.

@followers Someone suggested that cancelling church services due to weather causes MANY to backslide…

Old preacher’s joke: A big storm hits a rural community and only one local farmer makes it to church. The pastor asks him what they should do, just the two of them. Should he preach his prepared sermon?
The farmer replies that when he takes feed into the field, sometimes the whole herd of cattle shows up to eat, other times only one or two. Either way, he says, he still feeds the ones who come.
So the preacher launches into his sermon. In fact, he gets to feeling inspired and waxes especially long. Finally, he catches his breath and asks what he farmer thinks.
“Well, like I told you,” says the farmer, “even if just one or two cattle come, I still feed them. But I don’t drop the whole load!”
