This is very mocking and blasphemous. You don't need to go to that length to make a point. The Lord will not lets his name be taking in vain. No one tells Jesus "You have a brain figure it out" Even though this is just an illustration, it totally crosses the line. Don't know why teachers/pastors always feel the need to steep so low to reach young people. Do they think young people are unintelligent? This could have been done so much more tastefully.

Now, members inspire themselves and deliver their own parables. How moving and potentially dangerous!

GJ - Some of the toxic trends picked up from Stanley, Groeschel, Beeson, and Driscoll are:

  • Manufactured spontaneous moments - like the Drive 09 dance.
  • Man-made parables - tedious, verbose, over-acted, devoid of Biblical content.
  • Liturgical dance.
  • Pop and rock music, drippy lyrics. Manipulated emotions as a substitute for the Word of God.
  • Giant video screens and incredible amounts spent on media. Compare - $75 for a web camera at Bethany Lutheran Church.
  • Limited vocabularies: awesome, dude, totally, like. A Martian could attend four or five conferences simply by saying repeatedly, "Dude, totally awesome. You, like, nailed it."

    Mark and avoid the WELS avant-garde!!! They are so blinded by their own egos that they cannot imagine or foresee the adverse consequences of their actions.

    The WELS clergy today prefers to hit the membership up for mega-bucks to avoid the doing the Work of the Lord, something they apparently deep-down detest. The clergy has become a real piece of work.

    Unfortunately there are alot of those kind of people in the world that the skit portrays and that is the way it gets related. But it is no different than a Pastor who uses an analogy to get a point across. For those of us who are so mature in our faith it is hard to understand, I know. Kind of like watching Leno do 'Jaywalking'. But then again, as you look down your nose at them, ask yourself how mature you're acting.
