The Emerging Church leaders, who are just another version of Church Growth, teach that the church must use pop culture to reach people. Given that wrong assumption, anything goes.
Google "The Knux" for their lyrics, such as "Bang Bang."

BANG BANG
When the gun goes bang bang bang, who's gonna know who's the one? No, nobody knows.
When the gun goes bang bang bang, who's gonna know who's the one? No, nobody knows.
Takin' it back to 94, when niggas was dealin' the finest soul,
Crack the hit then ****** it up, and baby gangstas was full of they cluck.
Pluck the feathers up off the duck, you stuck like chuck if carried the banter
Pistol player knuckled up, then better to telling the children to scatter
Everyone knows don't **** with them ho's drinking with keisha from out they yo
Full of that clearly pop a silly when niggas first heard the choppers city
And I was a dancin' b-boy who resorted to slinging them heat boys
And jackin' them cars, mackin' them broads, sadistic ****, then flipped the script.
I don't wan' sound like a hypocrite, but momma raised me for greatness,
but we broke as **** and hope is stuck and New Orleans defines the cage hits
The animal house like getting out like takin' food from a animals mouth,
roar roar like the dungeon dragon, takin' it back to the cannibals house
When the gun goes bang bang bang, who's gonna know who's the one? No, no nobody knows.
When the gun goes bang bang bang, who's gonna know who's the one? No, no nobody knows.
I'm from a place you couldn't imagine, beautiful women some Creole with ***
Them niggas are hazards, we bitchin' they crabbin', and changin lanes like benjamin massing
From 10 to 12 they thinkin' it's cool, something awful when they aint in the mood.
Don't get 'em bent, **** that innocence, cause in a sense they film as you.
Where they mommas at, where they mommas at? Nobody knows, nobody cares.
To claim your hard, come go through the ward,come **** with them,when nobody dares
Your job, yes, ya ho-jocker, put that pop on you like Redenbacher
The things they say, the slang they use, catching kung fu while they bangin' the tools.
When the gun goes bang bang bang, who's gonna know the one? No, nobody knows.
When the gun goes bang bang bang, who's gonna know the one? No, nobody knows.
Even when it's cold outside 'round here. It's a 100 degrees, I keep the heat around here.
It's when you least expect it, people creep up from the rear,
it's racking my brain cannot contain my fear.

GJ - I starred out the worst words but left in the n-words because that is what they want. Let me know if I missed anything. I went over the words six times. Doubtless a translation to English would reveal more foulness.

Ski is a disgrace. What is he trying to prove with these pics? That he knows "people"? That he is "cool"? I'm sorry but in my humble opinion Ski is just the village idiot. How or why would he be seen in photos with these people, let alone post them proudly? I highly doubt he took the time to share the Gospel with these folks before or after the photo shoot. I believe most people in seeing these photos would be appalled. So that being said, what can be done about it? Does he also post pictures of himself along with wife and family on his Facebook page? Have synod officials been alerted to this odd behavior of one of their own pastors?

GJ - I imagine most of the WELS officials are aware of Ski's Facebook albums. On his main page he has a photo with one of the rap groups. They are all the same to me, so I cannot remember which one it is. He does have some pictures of his wife and family. I know quite a few people on Facebook now. Their main page photos are always:
1. The individual, serious or humorous.
2. A family or a child's picture.
3. A family pet photo.
Posing with Katy Perry on the main page (WELS Pastor Tim Glende) is a exception. So is posing with celebrities du jour (WELS Pastor Ski).
Photo albums on Facebook illustrate what people want to feature. Ski's are almost all music or sports celebrities. He did the same with his Drive blog, which is still active. He posed with Andy Stanley, the Babtist leader of Drive 08.
The question is - who is in charge? The District President, Doug Engelbrecht, has been supporting this. The CORE got going and kept going with his approval.
John Parlow's congregation is no longer listed as a member of the Willow Creek denomination. A lot of Missouri and ELCA churches are. Trapp's Wisconsin Lutheran Chapel once was.
The bigger question is not what the official membership is (and WC does charge big bucks for that) but what the doctrine taught is.
The Anything Goes District of WELS is clearly in the unionistic, Willow Creek-Fuller camp. Fox Valley seems to be the worst area of WELS.
