Lucknow and Thyatira -- both blue collar towns. Practical and pragmatic, us folk, you do what ya gotta do to get by, and that includes playing by the rules of our trade unions and trade guilds, right? Wrong, says Jesus. When certain practices go against our Christian beliefs, we must abandon the notion that we survive based on our own smarts. To look to anything or anyone for our survival, other than Jesus, is idolatry. Join us this Sunday, Oct 26 at 10:30 for "Blue-Collar Blues; Yes, We SHALL Overcome."
