It's juice. In the last 15 years I have attended Baptist churches in TN, AR, RI, IL, TX and KY, all have used juice. Now that I have finnnnnnally convinced AH that we could try out some Christian churches, we have tried 2 of those and they served juice as well. But man did I love those messages. I've heard the salvation sermon for 15 years. I came into this with no religious background. When I heard a sermon in a non-Baptist church, I felt like I could actually get my teeth into it. Was so awesome. My AH is struggling with leaving the Baptist faith. I asked him why and he said it's because it's all he knows. And his mother is deeply devoted to that particular faith.
Funny because he had coffee yesterday morning with a guy whose been sober for many years. He used to be a Baptist minister. He told AH he quit the faith because it was too legalistic. Woah. Just floored me at the timing. It was perfect. Because up until my AH realized I really wanted to try something else, he was plain determined. So maybe now possibly, AH can get past the rules and build a real relationship with God. The rules make it so hard. I love how Baptists do not drink, period. But they eat. And they can eat a whole lot. And several people in the church are actually addicted to food and their obesity is killing them. But they still gather around food. Just some of the thinking that doesn't make sense to me.
