If it isnāt foul-mouthed bands, itās circus performances. If it isnāt a circus performance, itās Hollywood. What passes as āchurchā and āworshipā these days should invoke the righteous indignation of every true believer in the world. There is no fear of God in these churches and if Jesus were physically present today, heād most likely be flipping over tables and driving out these money changers with whips made of cords.
The great preacher Charles Spurgeon once said, āA time will come when instead of shepherds feeding the sheep, the church will have clowns entertaining the goats!ā He couldnāt have been more accurate in his prediction, not because heās a prophet, but because he had a grasp on the biblical understanding of the nature of man and the doctrine of sin.
Church by the Glades in Coral Springs, FL, made headlines in early 2020 after its pastor, David Hughes, was selected by another Florida pastor, David Uth, to speak at the 2020 Southern Baptist Conventionās annual meeting. Church by the Glades has been well known for its sensuality, worldly appeal, andĀ extravagant performances of secular dance and musicĀ including theĀ Stormtrooper Dance, Disney Medleys, and covers of BeyonceāsĀ Freedom. And recently, the churchĀ performed a live coverĀ of foul-mouthed rapper, Kendrick Lamarās N95 which contains, in the original version, dozens of swear words, blasphemies, and references objectifying women.
Now, this church is worshiping to your child’s favorite classic, Baby Shark. Yep, that’s right. This so-called churchāwhich in reality is nothing more than a Sunday morning circus performanceāis putting on a performance of something you’d find on PBS or Nickelodeon.
