The apostasy is well under way. These people are trying to be relevant to a
world that is lost and dieing in their sins. They are so blind they cannot see
thier eternal destination. They would rather "play" church than know the risen
Savior Jesus Christ. They are empty and do not even know it.
There is a
way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.
(Proverbs 14:12 KJV)
A cool tweak to tradition
Live music, later hours and chill settings are
guiding a “missing generation” back to church.

"Blackout
curtains cover the windows. Video screens project movie clips. And chairs fill
with members of the MTV generation sporting multihued hairdos, hip huggers and
tank tops.
On stage, a rock band jams, covering songs from Coldplay and the
All-American Rejects. Before long, a man clad in jeans and a T-shirt takes the
stage. He cradles a Bible and a Starbucks pumpkin spice latte. His sermon lasts
27 minutes — about the time of the average sitcom.
This is cool
church."
For
the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own
lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; And they
shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables. (2
Timothy 4:3-4 KJV)
I charge thee therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus
Christ, who shall judge the quick and the dead at his appearing and his kingdom;
Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort
with all longsuffering and doctrine. For the time will come when they will not
endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves
teachers, having itching ears; And they shall turn away their ears from the
truth, and shall be turned unto fables. (2 Timothy 4:1-4 KJV)
