Nah, you can't sin listening to Ole Ray Price, he's a classic.
God Bless,
Jan

NO
agreed.
well, unless you are going to see that entertainer and the only reason you are going is so that you can lust and fantasize. :)
Thanks, Brent "RamboPreacher" Hoefling

So then, it's OK for me to go to a local club if my son is performing there? What about "the appearance of evil" and "people will think you're there to drink" or "don't let your good be spoken evil of?" I've heard these reasons all my life. Are you now telling me I can go clubing??? WOW! And I've waisted all these years... :lol:


Just have a stack of old CoGoP tracks in your hand when you come out. It will make it all okay. 8)

Martha, I think it would be MORE wrong for you NOT to go see your son play. :wink:

WHAT!!!!!????


Did he do "Crazy Arms"? "Heartache by the number"

I ENVY YOU!!!


Crazy arms that seek to hold somebody new,
But my burnin' heart keeps sayin' you're not mine!
My troubled mind knows soon to another you'll be wed,
And that's why I'm lonely all the time.

I'll be singing it all evening now.....

Sweetpea, here's a little tidbit for you - Ray Price lives in East Texas, Mount Pleasant to be exact, where my husband is from. My husbands cousin is married to Price's niece. I had never hear of him till I married, my father-in-law really likes his music. Glad you had fun! :wink:

I would qualify that no with the following disclaimers:

1. Only if you can do so without a guilty conscience..
2. Only if you can do so without being overrun/ influenced by an overtly worldly atmosphere
..I press on to take hold of that
for which Christ took hold of me.

And, finally, :)

3. only if gambling itself is not an addiction/problem/source of temptation for you to the point that it could/would control you. "I will not be mastered by anything."

Though I don't disagree with the others, I feel we each have to follow our own conscience and the leading and dealing of the Holy Spirit in our lives.

Actually, I don't have to go to the club to hear them. They played last summer at "Concerts in the Park" and this year at Panoply. They will be playing Concerts in the Park again this year on June 9. Hey, would it be a sin if I dance? \:D/ :P

I've been to all of them with exception to the Gulf Coast. I've eaten on the boats in Vicksburg. I've eaten in the casinos at Tunica, and I've walked right down through the slots with my Bible in Philadelphia. 8)
