"Bedsheets, Bourbon, and Brimstone" (2 min 22 sec)

If you take him to church and not to your bed, if you buy him flowers instead of a stiff drink, and if you lead him to Christ rather than to sin, you face several pitfalls. Left to their own devices, most men would choose a stiff drink over flowers, going to bed with you rather than going to church, and sinning rather than being led to Christ. We know this because it's what they are already doing. Look around, and you'll see it everywhere. Exceptions exist, but they are not the norm.

Sidebar: Sin means missing the mark, not engaging in immoral acts. When someone misses the mark, it's a call for correction not punishment or attack. Unfortunately, that's not the path we normally take.

Pitfall 2:

We are all stick figures in a collective dream. Everything in time and space occurs within this collective dream. Since it's a dream, everything that happens in it is made up, make-believe. Therefore, in reality, there is no world, no man or woman, no church, no flowers, no sin, and no Christ. It's all illusory. There's no point in becoming upset with stick figures in a dream.

Pitfall 3:

What’s wrong with taking him to your bed instead of dragging him to church? What’s wrong with buying him a stiff drink instead of flowers that wilt and die? What’s wrong with taking him to Sodom and Gomorrah instead of dragging him to Christ when he doesn't want to be there? We know he doesn't want to be there because he's not there already. The writer uses Sodom and Gomorrah for its vivid imagery of wickedness and sexual immorality. If you lead him there, any sane man would quickly realize there must be another way.

So, don’t take him to church; take him to your bed. Don’t buy him flowers; buy him a stiff drink. Don’t lead him to Christ; take him to Sodom and Gomorrah.

This path is quicker and more reliable.
