B.B.4.B. is Barrel Burnings For Bibles
Recently in the news, a pastor and church advertised it was having an event on Halloween Night and Burning Bibles and other important Christian Lit. just b/c they didn't think it was "of God".
We here at MMerge Ministries were "inspired by God" to counteract this event by holding an alternative Halloween burning of all your extra, unneeded and unnecessary stuff, that is a hindrance to you and your walk with God. This could be anything and everything depending on how you look, read and interpret this....a magazine, movie, music, clothes, or simply some things that bother, hurt or haunt you that you want to write down and throw in the fire and put in the past...could even be character issues or habits you struggle with.
Who: YOU, Come to burn or to fellowship :)
Where: 138 Club Dr. Mc Minnville
When: Meal starts at 6pm
What: We'll burn all night if we have to!
Pinata for the kids! Costumes welcome or come as you are. This is a FREE event, no cost, no donations required. Donations or proceeds(if given) will go to translating and distributing bibles to those in lands/places that may have never received the Word of God in their language. This probably won't be in KJV so if you have an issue with that, buy a KJV and ship it!
We have personally attended these type of events a couple of times in our lives. It was an opportunity for us as we were growing spiritually to rid our lives of some junk that didn't need to be there. At one time i remember doing away with certain cds, books, movies, magazines, immodest or inappropriate clothing. At other times it was an opportunity to write down issues that were holding us back. Emotional, physical, mental or spiritual issues that we knew we were struggling with and needed victory over. We would write those down, anonymously, pray and claim victory over those and put the papers into the fire. Symbolic yet memorable ways to show and remember a time or commitment of getting rid of unhealthiness and growing toward a more Christ-like life.
However, we also want to take the time to celebrate, fellowship and have fun together on Sat. night. There will be Chili and dogs, drinks and goodies. Fun and games for the kids.
