QuoteHeard that one most of my life in Pentecostal Churches and usually what some of the ones that I would hear would mean would be an atmosphere where God is being praised all of the time, worshipped, thanked, et. al.  However, I have heard it taken to the extreme of a "our way or the highway" kinda implication that heaven is precisely like what we're like in this particular Church and follows the same schedule.
When I heard this I interpreted it as "attending church service."  I can recall being miffed because church (services, that is) are so focused around particular *forms* of worship, namely singing, that some people certainly enjoy more than others.  A lot of people envision Heaven this way as well.  This did cause me to take note when attending a different church that they encouraged members to paint and displayed their paintings and accompanying essays in the narthex -- very cool IMO.

A church near us recently had on their marquee" Stop, drop and roll won't work in hell"

I guess that's suppose to draw in the crowds.............. :dunno:

I've seen that one locally as well.  It is astonishing!  The "Imagine Fire and Brimstone" I'd never heard or seen before (that's awful!) 
This stuff has its roots in Mo-lech or Baal worship  - the sacrifice of humans to a red hot brass bull was done in certain periods of very dark history. 
Ugh!
