The me too, monkey see monkey do, world mimicking relevant church just can't sit idlely by while the most relevant movie of the moment smashes box office records. They just have to find a way to ride the wave of relevance created by block buster movies like the new Star Trek.
Here is exhibit #1 from Faith Fellowship in Alton, IL.
They've found a way to tie Star Trek and Parenting.
Here's what their website says:
Captain’s log star date 050309. While in standard orbit, those aboard the Parenting Enterprise are experiencing dramatic morphing of their offspring--certain alien-type characteristics have also developed in both the parents and children. Close examination indicates a spatial rift may be imminent. Historical data confirms similar morphing patterns among previous generations of young Earth dwellers; however, the current conditions are excessively challenging. Super-human intelligence is required to intervene and prevent the affected beings from being launched into an uncharted dimension.
Do you ever feel that you are in outer space when it comes to relating to your children? Are you frightened and uncertain? Helping children find their identity in a fearful culture is an awesome task. You need enhanced communication devices to meet the challenges of this electronic age. Have you opened your Facebook page to God as a friend? Are you allowing Him to write on your wall? Allow God to help you in your parenting challenges by sharing in this new message series with Dr. Daymond Talkington.
Do you think that this lame attempt at relevance will pack unbelievers into church or convince them that Christians are pathetic in their attempts to 'be relevant'?
