There’s that word again.......................megachurch............

And the problem is??

I just hope those camels don’t poop on somebody’s head...

That is great! If the church people are paying for it, and are okay with paying for it, whose business is it?

Everyone has an opinion, and there is ALWAYS someone that will be offended.

More power to them. God can use this. But I wouldn’t buy a ticket.

And what is the intent and purpose of this article? Did it work?

I see nothing wrong with the pictures. I guess I would have to read the article to figure out what people are complaining about. Cost seems to be in the comments shown, but how that is an issue for anyone not forced to participate is a mystery.

That neighborhood is the richie rich part of Dallas. It’s their pocket change to do with what they wish.

Beware false prophets!

If people are buying tickets to see this, I don’t see what the problem is.

Sounds like something Disney would have done, in a previous life. Not the new Disney of course, but the way things used to be.

Thriller???

Yeah. Nothing says Christmas to me like the eerie laugh of Vincent Price.

The Crystal Cathedral in Garden Grove, Calif. used to put on a program like that called the Glory of Christmas. Angels would fly across the sanctuary and the three kings would come in riding on camels. It was spectacular, but overly so, complained my father, a music director at a Methodist church. He thought the program was more about show biz than worship.

The Rev. Robert Schuller, pastor of the Crystal Cathedral, retired and turned it over to his kids, who ran it into the ground. It is now a Roman Catholic house of worship.

Jesus enters the world in poverty to teach the lesson of detachment from earthly things.

These people might need remedial lessons.

Reminds me of the ZZ Top Worldwide Texas Tour where they brought cattle on stage.

I’ve always wondered what constitutes a “megachurch”.

Is it number of seats in the worship center? Number of members perhaps? 🤔

[joesbucks]

They’re all false prophets. But what’s the fuss about good entertainment?

And what is the intent and purpose of this article? Did it work?

 

It's a Daily Mail article. Like most DM garbage, its designed to bash Christians.

Number of Mercedes in the parking lot.................

Not at all tasteful, but then, neither are rock concerts.

I don’t see a problem.
