The video was clever but I think some of the jabs were to much. Guys like Rick Warren and others teach more gospel than most ultra-con preachers.
The Gospel is the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus, and preaching the Gospel is declaring that, not a diatribe about what to wear and what not to wear, and where to go and where not to go, and how to look and how not to look.
Jesus has commissioned us to feed His sheep, not to fleece them while we bully them and beat them up.
GUESS WHAT??? You CAN wear Hawaiian shirts and have a coffee bar and still have a major move of God! We have it all the time. God doesn't care what you're wearing as long as you're modest and neat. We don't have coffee in the sanctuary, but we do have a very cool coffee bar in the lobby.
We also just finished a 21 day church fast, and a 24 hour prayer chain is finishing up at 6 pm tonight. I don't think you can say all big churches that are casual and have a coffee bar should be linked into one big "selfish" pile. We are all about the presence of God and changing lives.
"Many Christians do not try to understand what was written in a verse in the Bible. Instead they approach the passage to prove what they already believe."
I liked the video. If you watched some of the others below I think you could sort of see the point. For example, the one that touted the smoking room because they didn't want smokers to feel ostracized. In other words, how far are churches going to go to make sure people don't feel uncomfortable. At least that was my take after watching a few.
I thought the video was fun, myself.
I don't know who made it so I don't have any bias... who's to say it was made by an Ultra-Con?
We have a coffee machine and some little tables with white folding chairs set up in the lobby before each service for fellowshipping beforehand... it hasn't taken away from our services in the least... no coffee is being sipped during the service.
I thought the video was humorous.
May Hawaiian shirts die a quick and painless death...
