Numbers matter. Why? They equal people. People matter tons. Especially people who need to hear the truth of the Gospel.

People who say it isn’t about the Numbers are usually not reaching anyone. The way they feel better about their lazy, selfish, disobedient, lives…is to make legendary excuses like:

We Are Just Focused On Discipleship.

Apparently that is a time when you sit in a circle, have debates about Calvinism, and don’t think about people far from God.

At the Well we believe the reason the Church was established was to make the name of Christ known and to be God’s ambassadors as he depopulates Hell.

We are praying for 1000 people to be at EasterOnTheMoon in less than two weeks. Our Church is less than 2 years old, so that might sound like a big prayer. Well, that is kind of the point. We are asking God to do HUGE things on Easter Sunday.

Please pray for us as we proclaim the truth of Jesus Christ at the Moon!

That didn’t make it on the screen last night. My favorites that made me laugh out loud:

1. I know God placed the apple in the garden, but HE told them not to eat it. God placed weed on earth and the GOVERNMENT told us not to use it…

This dude clearly smokes pot.

2.What do you think of the 2012 predictions of the world ending?

3. Is the girl behind andrew ackers single?

4. What do you think about home schooling?

This is funny because it is a work of God that I did not get asked that question! I will leave it at that.

5. Ty Cobb or Babe Ruth?

My blooper for the night was saying Jesus walked on earth for 30 days (actually 40) after he rose from the grave. Besides that I think we did okay!

And intense!

Tonight we did Live Text Messaging for the final night of the You Pick series. I was VERY nervous.

Some questions from tonight:

Do Dogs go to heaven?
Are Mormons Christians?
Is Masturbation wrong? Seriously, that question was asked live at the Well.
If smoking pot is wrong than why would God make the plant?
Are you a Calvinist?
What does the Bible say about suicide?

There were lots more, but those are the ones I remember after an exhausting night!

Any mess ups? Of course! I was frozen at the beginning with my mind going in 1o different places. I said Jesus was on earth for 30 days after he rose from the grave. Its 40! Ooops. That hit me about 5 minutes after I said it.

The answer people had the toughest time with was the NO I gave to…do dogs go to heaven? Come on people! Put the emotion aside for two seconds. Do dogs have some sort of special place in the kingdom (God’s…not yours) that other animals don’t get to have? In all seriousness…you will be at the throne of Christ worshiping the King and NOT CARE ABOUT YOUR FREAKIN DOG!

John Macarthur on this: Animals don’t have a moral dimension to their existence. They don’t sin against God and cannot understand the good news about Jesus, so they cannot become Christians. Animals are not spiritual beings like humans are. So animals do not go to heaven in the way that humans do by believing in Jesus and gaining eternal life.

It was a fun night and we will do it again! Shout out to Matthew Robinson and Matt Folsom who worked very hard to pull it off.

Great crowd, great night, and only 2 weeks till the Moon! Get pumped.

Thank you to friend of the Well, Jon Acuff, for this fun scoring system.

How high does Matt Long score? We should make him take the test.

Gotta love em.
