R-Rated Movie Messages??!!

The following excerpt is from an article done by Washington Post.  It only serves to show the depths to which pastors are willing to go in order to entice people to come “worship” the Almighty Sovereign of the Universe.  This man has demeaned the high office to which he aspires to hold.  He is not being the protective shepherd that God requires him to be, and he is in flagrant opposition to the Word of God to be separate from the world.

The picture above is from the message where he came dressed as the Joker from the Batman movie!  You can go here to Washington Post to see more pictures and read about this man.

“Since June, Seagears, senior pastor at Christ Chapel Mountaintop in Prince William County, has based his sermons on the summer’s blockbusters, managing to draw life lessons from the most unlikely subject matter. The Summer Cinema Series, which concludes today, seeks to attract those who don’t ordinarily attend church while making the experience more fun for those who do. The four-year-old church averages about 20 visitors a week, in addition to members, which is significant considering that attendance usually lags during the summer, he said.

“We try to make church and God applicable to people’s lives,” said Seagears, 47.

Seagears bases each week’s message on the highest-grossing movie the previous weekend. He sees the movie, then prays about how to extract a biblical message.

He has had to see movies with violence and language he would otherwise avoid. Last month he saw “Hellboy II: the Golden Army,” in which an evil prince seeks to resurrect an indestructible army to take over the Earth by assembling pieces of a magical crown.

We, too, have invaluable crowns, Seagears preached, rewards God has prepared for those who love and serve him faithfully.”

  1. Why am I not surprised ? It is tragic that so many feel they have to make the Gospel of Jesus Christ , our Lord , God and Redeemer , more INTERESTING and I suppose RELEVANT to somehow convince the naturally uninterested ( Romans 8:7 ) to ” make
    a decision. “

  2. Not only is this pastor exposing himself continuously to ungodly things by watching these “R-rated curse-filled Hollywood hits”, but, by using them as the basis of his sermons, he is also enticing his flock to go see themas well. So, in essence, he is doing more harm than good because the negative effects of watching those movies is much greater than whatever redeeming value he can extract from them for his sermons. He claims Jesus did the same thing when he used parables or stories to teach the people. No, it is NOT the same thing! -not at all! Very sad…
