Church by the Glades in Coral Springs, FL, is the embodiment of instituting worldly entertainment in the pathetic hope of catching the attention of wayward goatlings and luring them into staying.
Known for their extravagant attempts to keep their members entertained, in the past few months alone, the 8000- member Southern Baptist megachurch led by David Hughes played a Beyonce song about Dominatrixes, a cover of Run D.M.C’s sleazy and sexual song Walk this Way in church, performed Kendrick Lamar’s N95, only cleaned up and sanitized for church audiences, removing the curse words and racial epitaphs for a sermon illustration, put on a Willy Wonka Christmas worship service’ and put on crazy ‘Baby Shark’ mashup during service, replete with smoke and canons!
For their new sermon series ‘Trending,’ they performed a cover and dance routine of the song Nights by Swedish DJ Avicii (real name Tim Bergling.)
It’s an ironic choice, given that the song is about living life to the fullest – One day, you’ll leave this world behind. So live a life you will remember. My father told me when I was just a child These are the nights that never die.”- was given a tragic specter after Bergling killed himself in 2018 at the age of 28, decidedly not living life to the fullest.
This church wants to be entertained by worldly means, however, and this was certainly that.
These “wayward goatlings” get plenty of secular stimulation outside of church. Why settle for a poor imitation?
Churches prosper when they offer something not available on any street corner: a comfort to the soul that comes from a closeness to God.
An unchurch, among many today.
DJ Who Committed Suicide
Is that his name, or did he commit suicide?
It makes me sad that some people will be ensnared by this false church. Woe to those responsible for presenting God’s word for the purpose of worldly gain. May God smite His enemies in the name of Jesus.
Writers these days ... cant even get music history right. The song is NOT about a Dominitrix, nor was it created by RUN DMC. The song was written by Steven Tyler and Joe Perry of Aerosmith, and released on “Toys in the Attic” in 1975. It was a top-10 hit for Aerosmith. RUN DMC remade the song in 1986, and the video was of both Aerosmith and RUN DMC in adjoining garages playing the same song, and eventually knocking the wall down between them. (symbolizing the fusion of Rock and Hip Hop). The lyrics tell the story of a boy losing his virginity at a high school dance and becoming a player.
Thank you for that trip down memory lane, I had forgotten.
Theres enough Christian songs and hymns they can dance to without using the songs of the world...
Ya ever clogged to I’ll Fly Away ???

“Walk this way” said the bowlegged store clerk, when a I asked where to find talcum powder.
I replied “If I could walk that way I wouldn’t need the talcum powder!”
They profess to be Christians. They “”think”” they are Christians. But... being lukewarm, Jesus will spit them out... along with all the other deluded pretenda Christians.
Revelation 3:16
16 So, because you are lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I will spit you out of my mouth.
