Fools make a mock at sin: Proverbs 14:9
“The church that can’t worship must be entertained. And men who
can’t lead a church to worship must provide the entertainment.” A. W.
Tozer
A church may soon find a heaping pile of horse manure on stage in the
sanctuary, after releasing promotional advertising that horse trainer
Todd Piece will break down and tame a wild horse live on stage during
their father’s day service in an over-the-top sermon illustration design
to “demonstrate God’s love as our Father.”
The much-ballyhooed gimmick is being put on on Crossroads Church, a
seeker-sensitive, multisite megachurch in Cincinnati, Ohio that is led
by Brian Tome and that advertises itself as a “place for people who have
given up on church but not on God.”
Interestingly enough, far from being “non-denominational,” they advertise themselves as “interdenominational,” explaining:
Our beliefs are shared by many different Christian denominations, and we welcome everyone. It’s like one big pool party, with Methodists and Catholics and Presbyterians all doing cannonballs together." P&P
