17 Thousand-Member SBC Megachurch Hangs Man Dressed Like Jesus From Ceiling as Congregation Worships Him

I’ve seen and reported on a number of aberrant Christmas celebrations taking place at various megachurches around the country this year and all of them are off-the-charts idolatrous. We covered Hillsong’s raunchy breakdancing Santa celebration as well as a drag queen’s very un-shocking Christmas singing performance.

We even covered a queer church that featured shirtless men prancing around like elves in a raunchy, risque manner. And one Florida Southern Baptist megachurch put on a Willy Wonka-themed Christmas worship service that featured a flying Santa and lyrics about drinking vodka—but no mention of Jesus.

But now, this might just be the worst of all of the performances I’ve seen so far this year is a church that hung a man dressed like Jesus from the ceiling as the other performers along with the congregation stood around and worshiped him. Prestonwood Baptist Church, a 17 thousand-member Southern Baptist megachurch in Dallas led by former Southern Baptist Convention president, Jack Graham.

As Charles Spurgeon famously said, “It is not the business of the Christian minister to please the goats, but to feed the sheep.” These so-called “churches” are so focused on entertaining the goats that they’re neglecting the spiritual needs of the sheep. Instead of providing the nourishment that believers need to grow in their faith, they’re offering an empty spectacle that does nothing to advance the Kingdom of God.

You shall not make for yourself an image in the form of anything in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the waters below. You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, punishing the children for the sin of the parents to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me, but showing love to a thousand generations of those who love me and keep my commandments. —Exodus 20:4-6

Speaking the Truth in Lust

Speaking the Truth in Lust

It’s the darling phrase of modern Evangelicalism—trotted out with breathless solemnity every time someone dares to speak a hard truth too plainly: “We must speak the truth in love.” Four little words. A verse fragment. A harmless butterfly of a phrase that, somewhere...

Planned Parenthood Shouldn’t Be Defunded, but the ERLC Should Be

I just read an “explainer” article by the Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission (ERLC) published in the Christian Index, and to no one's surprise, it’s exactly what we’ve come to expect from the Southern Baptist Convention’s well-funded public relations...

Surrogacy is The Childless Gospel of the Left

I ran across a tweet the other day that lodged itself in my mind like a thorn. It was from Genevieve Gluck, a name that occasionally floats across the radar of gender-critical feminism, usually sounding some kind of alarm about the degradation of womanhood at the...

A Response to Twitter Thread on Capital Punishment for Abortions

It started, as these things often do, with a simple question. A seemingly nice lady on Twitter—yet a representative of the typical emotionally charged illogical reasoning of the mainstream pro-life movement—wanted to know how I think my church should handle a woman in...
