The Museum of Idolatry

Worst Easter Promo EVER!

Crazy Train "Praise Song"?

Nothing like including Ozzy Osbourne's Crazy Train in in the "Praise and Worship" set at church.

LCBC Style?

Here's yet another lame, monkey see, monkey do knockoff of Gangnam Style. There's nothing relevant or innovative about this.

Grinch v Scrooge Rap Battle - Christmas Relevance FAIL

Thanks to The Crossing in Elk River, MN for this FAILED attempt at making Christianity relevant.

Grinch's Thriller??

Here are one of the ghosts of idolatry past, Grinch's Thriller from "Church" on the Move.

CBGlades Tithe Rap

The seeker-driven model for 'church' is the most expensive and financially wasteful church model ever invented by man (its not the Biblical model). It costs 10's of millions of dollars each year to dress the stage, pay for cameras, cameramen, lights, smoke machines, musicians, production crew, etc. That's why so many of these churches entertainment venues with a thin Christian-ish veneer end up doing things like this...

Whoop 'Em Gideon Style?!?

Do you need relevant advice on how to defeat the devil and be victorious? Here's how, Whoop 'Em Gideon Style.

Simpsons "Praise" Song???

Cause there's nothing more relevant than having middle-aged balding church dudes rock out to the Simpson's theme song during the "praise and worship" set at Granger Community Church.

Church's 10 Year Celebration(Can You Spot What's Missing)

Below is a video documenting Crosspoint "Church's" 10 Year Anniversary celebration see if you can spot what's missing or what is odd about this.

Michael Jackson's Thriller Meets the Power of Positive Thinking

What happens when a seeker-driven "church" decides to demonstrate the power of positive thinking during the halloween season? The video below demonstrates the train wreck that ensues.

Performed at Faith "Church" St. Louis

Spider "Pastor"

Look up high above the stage. What is it? Is it a vulture, a bat? No. It's Spider "Pastor"!

Pastor or more accurately wannabe Broadway sensation David Hughes of Church Circus by the Glades, this past Sunday decided that it was time to recreate the famous kiss scene from the Spiderman movie during church. You can see the video below or watch the entire "sermon" by clicking on this link.

Sexy and I Know it??

This certainly is a strange 'praise and worship song' to be singing in a "Christian" church. We thought that praise and worship songs were supposed to be about Jesus, but in today's narcissistic self-help centers, like Ignite "church" in Joplin, MO it makes sense to sing a praise song like this.

***Bonus Exhibit***

Here's a teaching on that important "Christian" doctrine of the carrot and donut. This ought to give you an idea as to what kind of 'church', Ignite is...

I Wanna Rock & Roll All Night at NewSpring "Church"

Do you see anything wrong with the picture below?? You should.

That photo is of NewSpring "Church's" praise band opening up their worship service with Kiss's rock anthem I Wanna Rock & Roll All Night.

God warns us in his word in 1 Corinthians 3:16–20:

“Do you not know that you are God’s temple and that God’s Spirit dwells in you? If anyone destroys God’s temple, God will destroy him. For God’s temple is holy, and you are that temple. Let no one deceive himself. If anyone among you thinks that he is wise in this age, let him become a fool that he may become wise. For the wisdom of this world is folly with God. For it is written, “He catches the wise in their craftiness,” and again, “The Lord knows the thoughts of the wise, that they are futile.””

The temple being discussed in this passage is the gathering of believers in church. The "you" in the phrase "you are God's temple" is plural, not singular. Another way to translate that phrase would be "do ya'll not know that ya'll are God's temple".

To get an idea of just what Perry Noble, "pastor" of NewSpring, decided to bring into God's Temple watch the video below. It contains footage of both NewSpring's praise band and concert footage of Kiss, the band who wrote the song.

“Do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers. For what partnership has righteousness with lawlessness? Or what fellowship has light with darkness? What accord has Christ with Belial? Or what portion does a believer share with an unbeliever? What agreement has the temple of God with idols? For we are the temple of the living God; as God said, “I will make my dwelling among them and walk among them, and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. Therefore go out from their midst, and be separate from them, says the Lord, and touch no unclean thing; then I will welcome you, and I will be a father to you, and you shall be sons and daughters to me, says the Lord Almighty.”” (2 Corinthians 6:14–18)

Lady Gaga's Telephone and REALLY Bad Church Karaoke

Proclaimers "church" in Norwich, England thought this was appropriate to perform in "church".

$50 Just Might Change Your Life???

the pastors of City of Life can 'save' your zombie marriage for only $50.

Rock Revival??

“You leave the commandment of God and hold to the tradition of men.”” (Mark 7:8)

This so-called 'revival' is the epitome of 'traditions of men' AND will feature music by Lady Gaga!

“You adulterous people! Do you not know that friendship with the world is enmity with God? Therefore whoever wishes to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God.” (James 4:4)

What is Love? Sermon Series Promo

Pastor Ed and Dan try their hand at relevance....and FAIL!

Stupid "Pastor" Tricks

Here's Erik Dykstra riding a four wheeler onto the stage on Father's Day and nearly flipping it over.

Then after "church" was over folks headed outside to the parking lot to watch monster trucks smash and destroy six cars.

UP YOURS the "Sermon" Series

Here's a clever marketing idea that is sure to draw a crowd...take a really offensive phrase like "UP YOURS" and make it the title of your "sermon" series.

Thanks "Church" Relevant for taking Christianity to an all new LOW.

Rick Warren Takes Swipe at Cross-Centered Hermeneutic

Apparently Rick Warren hasn't learned that the scarlet thread of redemption that runs through all of scripture is about Jesus Christ, oh and it was Jesus that taught us this.

“And he said to them, “O foolish ones, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken! Was it not necessary that the Christ should suffer these things and enter into his glory?” And beginning with Moses and all the Prophets, he interpreted to them in all the Scriptures the things concerning himself.” (Luke 24:25–27)

“You search the Scriptures because you think that in them you have eternal life; and it is they that bear witness about me, yet you refuse to come to me that you may have life.” (John 5:39–40)

The Apostle Paul, also understood that all of scripture is about Christ and the Cross. Here's what Paul wrote:

“For I decided to know nothing among you except Jesus Christ and him crucified.” (1 Corinthians 2:2)

We also find it very telling that Rick Warren has publicly critiqued those faithful pastors who preach Christ and the Cross from every passage of scripture but he hasn't said ONE WORD in criticism of his disciples like Steven Furtick, Perry Noble and others who, Sunday after Sunday, read THEMSELVES into every passage of scripture, including the Gospels. Click Here to hear an egregious example of this from the Code Orange Revival.

After listening to that "revival sermon" read this: “we do not preach ourselves, but Jesus Christ as Lord, and ourselves as your servants for Jesus’ sake” (2 Corinthians 4:5)

More Circus Church

"A time will come when instead of shepherds feeding the sheep, the church will have clowns entertaining the goats."
--C.H. Spurgeon

And that time is now...

Biker Sunday??

We had no idea that the new seeker-driven liturgical calendar recognized Biker Sunday, until now....

God at the Movies 2012

With the return of warm weather, longer days, and summer vacations has come the return of Movie Preaching 'season' in Seeker-Driven "churches". Here's one of the first movie sermon preview trailers of the new season. Grab some popcorn and enjoy.

God at the Movies (Retro) from DanStevers.com on Vimeo.

So, ummm...since movie preaching season is all about being relevant we have a kinda sorta have an obvious question to ask....what if you don't like movies or haven't seen all of these movies?

Human Cannonball At Pastors Conference

Here's video footage of David "The Bullet" Smith Jr. getting shot out of a 35 foot cannon at the Catalyst "Pastors" Conference.

We're fairly confident that this was an audition by "The Bullet" and that its just a matter of time before he is shot out of his cannon at a seeker-driven church near you.

More Circus Church

This is a prime example of what the "church" has sunk to.

Seriously, we don't go to church to see bearded ladies, dog tricks or clowns. We go to church to hear God's word and the good news of Christ and Him crucified for our sins.

This video records the sermon opening from a recent 'sermon' at Northridge Church, Plymouth, MI.

Nacho Libre "Sermon" Video Clips

Thanks to WingClips.com your pastor can remain on the cutting edge of spiritual-ish relevance. Imagine the crowds that he can draw with this inspirational baptismal movie clip from Nacho Libre.

Another Titanic Departure from Scripture

Turns out there was more than one Seeker-Driven Church Self-Help Center that preached a Titanic Sermon on Easter. Pleasant Valley Church is now the second that we're aware of.

The photos below are from a "Church" NOT Broadway.

Avengers "Sermons"

This is what happens when a pastor abdicates his responsibility to preach the word and whores after the world.

Both videos are advertising sermons that are being 'preached' this opening weekend for The Avengers.

Titanic Easter Sermon

It's difficult to be a Purpose-Driven "pastor". For instance, that job requires you to make really difficult decisions such as "which historical event will you preach about on Easter Sunday"? That decision becomes further complicated by the fact that the 100 year anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic conflicted with Easter this year.

Sooooooo, Lawrence Neisent of Destiny Christian Center, made the tough call and decided that the Titanic was more important to preach about on Easter sunday than Jesus and his bodily resurrection from the grave.

Church Conference Where Girls Can Burp Out Loud???

Our special thanks to Ed and Lisa Young for this edifying bit of churchly marketing.

Bringin Christmas Swagger Back???

Northpoint Thriller?

We're beginning to wonder if Seeker churches are places for people without talent to pretend that they're TV stars so that they can have the pseudo-experience of living out their Hollywood dreams.

One thing is certain, these churches are like a perpetual never ending Jr. High drama production...A VERY EXPENSIVE perpetual never ending Jr. High drama production.

Why do we say they're expensive? Because the cost of admission to these churches is 10% of your gross income (a.k.a. the tithe). Ask yourself this question, if you make $60,000 per year is it worth $6,000 for you to sit through these 3rd rate Jr. high level drama productions followed by a self-help pop-psych pep-talk with 4 to 5 Bible verses ripped from context? Does God really expect you to sacrifice 10% of your income to support this?

Blessing Zone?

Is there any doubt left that the seeker-driven pastors are teaching a different religion? This isn't Biblical teaching. This is something completely foreign to the Historic Biblical Christian Faith.

Jesus Got us Falling in Love?!?

Cause nothing is more effective at making people make decisions to be "Christ Followers" than butchering pop songs and 'Christianizing' them. Ugh.

On behalf of the Church of Jesus Christ, let me offer my sincerest apologies to Usher for this lame video.

Ozzy Osbourne's Crazy Train at NewSpring Florence

"Praise and Worship" time has hit a new low thanks to Perry Noble and the "praise" band at his Florence multi-site.

Here's video of Ozzy Osbourne's Crazy Train being performed in a "church" service.

Circus Church...Literally

Church Circus by the Glades performs a sermon series to thrill and entertain.

Love Your Unsaved Neighbor by Beating the Snot Out of Him!

Nothing quite captures the love that Jesus has for the world like a Mix Martial Arts smack down in your church's parking lot.

Singing the Praises of Me, the Prodigy

From Steven Furtick's church Self-Worship Center

"I'm A Prodigy" Light Suit Element from Elevation Church on Vimeo.

Sure does sound a lot like's Lucifer's praise of himself:

““How you are fallen from heaven, Lucifer, son of Dawn! How you are cut down to the ground, you who laid the nations low! You said in your heart, ‘I will ascend to heaven; above the stars of God I will set my throne on high; I will sit on the mount of assembly in the far reaches of the north; I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will make myself like the Most High.’ But you are brought down to Sheol, to the far reaches of the pit.” (Isaiah 14:12–15)

Perry Noble Flat Out LIED!

These stories, both told by Pastor Sheep Beater Perry Noble are factually incompatible. There are only two choices when it comes to understanding what Perry Noble did:

1. Perry Noble lied to Mark Driscoll and James MacDonald and the audience of the Elephant Room.

2. Perry Noble lied to the thousands of pastors in attendance at the 2011 Unleash Conference.

Which do you think it was?

Shark Weak???

Ed Young, Jr. is lucky that sharks are repelled by Botox.

Sympathy for the Devil???

This was performed in Northpoint Church Adult Youth Group, Springfield, MO on Easter Sunday, 2011.

Church Flash Mob FAIL

Relevance fail. Flash Mob fail. This church self-help center needs to jettison the cheesy and badly executed attempts at relevance and do what Christ has called the church to do, proclaim repentance and the forgiveness of sins in Jesus name.

Painful to Watch, Relevance

In the never ending quest maintain relevance, the church is only spiraling down in to the abyss. This video, promoting small groups is a prime example.

Summer Growth Groups from EastLake Tri-Cities on Vimeo.

Put Your Bible Away, It's Time to Preach About Movies!

There is a tradition in seeker-driven churches youth groups for people who are chronologically older than 18, and that tradition is preaching about movies during the summer. Here is a trailer to kick of this year's Summer Movie Sermon season. Thanks to folks at Crosspoint Community Church in Decatur, AL for creating this video and putting the "super" in superficial.

Get Swaggerfied This Easter at Fellowship "Church"

Who needs to hear about Jesus' death and resurrection during an Easter service? Yuck!! That "Bible stuff" is sooooo old school. Thankfully, Ed Young, Jr. has something better to offer you this Easter, you can attend Fellowship Church Self-Help Center and get Swaggerfied. Here's the promo video. Oh and please remember that a significant percentage proceeds from this year's Swaggerfied Easter service will go to support the Ed Young, Jr. Private Jet Fund.

Grace Gone Wild??

From Rich Wilkerson, Jr and his church, The Vous, comes Grace Gone Wild. Cause God's Grace is just like perverted party porn.

Grace Gone Wild from Rich Wilkerson on Vimeo.

Safe Sex the Sermon Series!?!?

Billed as, "Biblical Protection for Maximum Pleasure" this sermon series ought to be a hit with the pagans. Thanks Church on the Journey for taking church marketing to a new low.

Oh and here's the best part. This is what is on the other side of this post card mailer. That's quite a mixed message! Would you bring your child to an Easter Egg hunt advertised with Safe Sex?
