My own church, a Southern Baptist church (I attend the church and am a member of the church and was baptized into that denomination, but I do not consider myself a Southern Baptist per se anymore; I don't have a lot of use for denominations, if I'm ever asked that I put "Christian"), is getting just like that, and I don't like it. IMHO, it's because that kind of stuff draws people in, and I think there is an exaggerated emphasis on church growth these days instead of what the actual mission of a church should be.
So true. Some time back I listened to a Baptist pastor from Houston called R.B. Thieme.< He got so fed up that he just got completely rid of the choir and the music director. That was that.
He said that the mission of the church was first, second, and third -- teach the Word. He was old school, kind of the Bobby Knight of pastor-teachers.
