SAVED OR NOT
Payroll connected
with many different people in the church for different reasons. There were So
many different ideas in the church, a lot of different avenues to take good or
bad. Depended on how you looked at it, who you hung with, and why you were really
there. Payroll used to say, “I wonder if anybody in here is really saved or
not?” Sounds crazy but he was serious. With All the things he’d already
experienced in church it made him wonder. Some of the same people he sees in
church are in the clubs chilling like a villain. The only difference is they
dressed up a little different. Not much but a little. They got what they like
to call church clothes on. They almost had him fooled though. You see Payroll thought
the people who were shouting all over the place were the only ones who had it
together with God. It really confused him though; because in his mind they were
supposed to be different from the people like him that are partying in the
clubs every night. The only difference he could see was they had dressed it up
with different clothes. A big church meeting had been scheduled and some of his
acquaintances thought it would be a good idea for him to attend. At this
meeting they give you a chance to respond and ask questions. So Payroll
reluctantly decided that he should probably go and hooks up with a few of his
friends to get there. It was on a Wednesday night and that worked for him. Once
they arrive and get inside Payroll see’s some familiar faces up front talking
about how to reach more people and get them to come to church. As they were
talking it was becoming very clear in Payroll’s mind where he’s seen them
before. Only this time they were up talking like they were super spiritual and
stuff. Some of the things they were up there saying about living right really started
to piss Payroll off because just last night those same people were ripping the
dance floor, drinking and getting high right next to him at the Blue Martini.
Every Tuesday night it’s ladies night and the Blue Martini be jumping. He
remembers them well because they were really getting it in last night, popping
bottles while sexing the dance floor. Payrolls inner thoughts become outer
thoughts but only with a whisper. His friends take note of it and try to calm
him down but it’s too late for that. Now Payrolls whisper is no longer a
whisper and other people have started to take notice to what was going on
around him. Finally one of the leaders who noticed the somewhat
small interruption got on the microphone and said, “Excuse me sir but would you
like to say something?” Why the hell did they say that? Without hesitation Payroll
didn’t think twice and in a gentle but fierce way he responds.
