Apparently you can expect “City Church” to be so much like the world that you can’ tell them apart.

There are so many things wrong about this video that I’m unable to determine which is the worst affront to the Christian faith, but here’s a list of the seven things that made me sick to my stomach. 

1). Carl’s acting fit for a VJ on MTV.

2) Carl’s shameless plug that City Church is so cool that if you come you might get a wife as hot as the pastor’s.

3). Carl’s agreement that most of the time church “sucks.” 

4). Carl listing the attributes of pastor Kent: He’s good looking, he can play ball, and his wife is way too hot for him to have. (Is there something missing from that list of what people should look for in a shepherd)? 

5). Carl’s claim that if you come to this church a miracle could happen and that miracle is that you too can find a [hot] wife like pastor Kent’s.

6). Carl ending his drivel with “Peace in the Middle East.”

7) Carl’s lowcut Rico Suave shirt.

Perhaps the one thing that nauseates me the most about this is how shameless their pandering to the world is. They stop just shy of getting on their kness and begging people to like them. “Hey, we’re as cool and hip as you, we don’t suck like those churches that believe in holiness and stuff, we’re so much like the world that you can’t tell us apart from the world. Now will you come to our church?“

  1. With the description of city church and the pastor and comments, I was not going to watch the video.

    It must be one of the ugliest videos for a church in a long time. Well, maybe not that long.

    That is the kind of ‘church’ I would not take my children to, or want to go to myself.

    Then again, it is called city church. So, maybe it is for the city and has nothing to do with the Lord Jesus Christ.

    God bless.

  2. What offended me most was the suggestive snap shots of the pastor’s wife! Are you kidding me?

    But I say to you that whoever looks at a woman to lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart. Matthew 5:28

    “Whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in Me to sin, it would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck, and he were drowned in the depth of the sea. Matthew 18:6

    I am so thankful I serve a sovereign Lord who is in complete control of this madness. I know that He will work this all out for His purposes and His glory!

  4. Hey pilgrim,

    You know from our recent movie discussion that I’m pretty open minded about being innovative and even entertaining to try and reach out to the lost, but even I felt like this was too much. First of all, it was just plain irritating. Second, I agree that it was inappropriate to use the images of the pastor’s wife that way, and talk about coming so that you can also find a hot wife.

    Not a good spot. Nope, not at all.

    And message to Carl: they’re called t-shirts. They’re pretty cool. You can get a nice one at the Gap for about $10.

    See, we can agree on the condition of the Church today. I just stand on one side and you are on the other of the issue in the middle. If this were politics you’d be considered liberal and I’d be considered conservative. :o)
