    There once was a sincere man who wrote a heartfelt letter to his wife, but when she received the letter she mocked him, threw it on the ground and stomped it into the mud. There were some who said that was okay that the woman did that, afterall, it was just paper and ink. But there are others who wept because they understood it was not the paper and ink she had stomped into the mud, but the heartfelt and sincere message of the sender she had treated with such contempt. It's improper to focus on the medium of the message rather than the message itself. They kicked the very Word of God across the stage of their clubhouse.

    I went to one of these services a few years ago and the exit song when everyone was leaving the auditorium was "Jump" from Van Halen. From what I understand, that song was about committing suicide and "jumping off a tall building". A strange way to send people off into the world.
    Oh, and new guitar players are supposed to give their testimonies to the church soon after getting hired. When one of the songs were over the guitar player came to the front of the stage. He said this gig was a blessing from God. He went on to say that prior to this job, he was working at a UPS warehouse. He hated his job and everyone he worked with. And that he always got in trouble with his manager for coming in late and always having a bad attitude. And he concluded by telling the congregation that all he ever loved doing was drinking and playing his guitar and was so grateful that he didn't have to go to work anymore. He said his friend set him up with the audition and vouched for him to get the job. Apparently, nobody checked to be sure he was a Christian or what he was going to say for his "testimony".

    I’m sorry, I’m going to try to remain calm … when I first saw a clip of this “church” a couple days ago, in which they KICKED the Word of God, I wept for the better part of the rest of the day, sometimes loudly. God’s Holy Word states in Psalm 138 that He has magnified His Word above all His Name! This isn’t a church. These people aren’t saved. They hate God, and they clearly hate His Word. This isn’t “trite”, this isn’t irrelevant, this is despicable and these people need to be more than just called out on Wretched and laughed at.

      Not only your country. It's happening (western-)world-wide in each their own respective cultural context. In Europe for example it's mostly socialist gospels with condemning rich people. While in America it's more wealth-gospel or the clownery we just saw. In Europe it just looks a bit more adult, but the hearts are filled with the same carnal spirit. In the end, both are taking God's word not seriously. But we better watch ourselves grazing under the Lord's watch instead of lamenting about the goats.

    This is making light of worshiping God. This is more about the people performing - and their own ego - than glorifying God. Finally, singing secular songs that were not written to honor God within the service, is always a terrible idea and border around heresy (too strong of a word, but it’s the only one I could think of)
