Recently I read about a church that changed its policy and decided to allow coffee and donuts in the sanctuary. Their thinking went something like this: Nothing should stand between a hell-bound sinner and salvation other than the scandal of the cross. Interestingly, Chuck Swindoll had a very similar approach when he became the president of Dallas Seminary and the founding pastor of Stonebriar Community Church. You can read about that here.
P.S. To be honest with you, I'm not a complete libertarian when it comes to this matter. Donuts are okay in the sanctuary, but I draw the line at sprinkles. No sprinkles in church, please.
