AWESOME ANSWER!!

This past Sunday, our rockin' worship band at Crossroads (with yours truly bangin' the drums) played a face-melting rendition of Ozzy's Crazy Train before the message.  Here's some great facebook traffic from a long-time Crossroads attender (not a staff member, folks but a comitted Christ-follower and faithful volunteer) who really gets it:

HEATHER:  Crazy Train??? Only @ Crossroads!!!

SHAUN: Please explain why prince of darkness as Ozzie is known on earth, theme music was used at church? :)

HEATHER:  Great question Shaun! And there is no short answer so here’s the Top 10:

10. This aint yo grandma’s church

9. We believe that boring church is a sin (and there’s never a dull moment here)

8. If you read the lyrics of Crazy Train, it reads like a modern-day psalm/prayer (check it out: http://www.lyricsfreak.com/o/ozzy+osbourne/crazy+train_20103982.html )

7. It is our mission to reach the un-churched people in this world – what better way to do so?

6. We practice, as Jesus did, taking this sinful world as it is

5. God is famous for taking what is meant for evil and turning it to good

4. Crossroads is famous, as Jesus is, for meeting people right where they are and connecting them to God in ways that transform them-if you’ve ever felt like your life was going off the rails of a crazy train, then you know what I mean :)

3. Our band ROCKS!

2. We are taught to make a joyful noise

And the #1 reason:

1. THAT’S HOW WE ROLL…

Way to cast vision and spread the message, Heather!
