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?

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.

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.

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

I don’t see a problem.

Megachurch == sort of Christian themed circus.

Hm?.....So Christians don’t have a right to express their creativity?

An event like this strengthens fellowship among the members and is a way to reaching out to the community.

From the description of the show, this seems too be identical to an annual show at a "mega Church" here in Phoenix (we saw the show last year).

Yes, they did raise a collection near the end of the show. The request for optional giving was a fundraiser with 100% of the money donated to fight child sex trafficking. explanations and testimonies were giving of the success they have had over the years

I cannot speak for the Church in Texas, and their website gave no indication of funds being used for worthy causes.

People are quick to condemn large churches, those that do so usually have no idea of the many worthy causes that churches participate in.

I would not be at all surprised if the good folks in Texas were doing something similar.

Didn't I see this last year?

Are we now going to see it every year because people have to find something to be upset about?

I am sure the cost of the production is A LOT less than the complainers are thinking. Since most have probably never graced the steps of a church, they have no idea that almost everything that happens in a church is volunteer work and everything is financed through voluntary donations.

Today’s scum only understands income confiscation and purchased services. Even in my lifetime there was a time when people turned to family and the church to take care of those facing trouble. Now we just ship granny to the old folks home until she is broke and on the government dole.

So?

I guess I can just choose not to go. Are others having a different problem than me? Anyone forcing you?
