What’s that all about? Different church so some kind of trend in various Christian groups.
Clearly another current example of poor poor Christianity. No better description. |
Haha ... methinks you've got a bit of a sense of humor there.
But to be fair, I think I've seen that girl before, at Cirque du Soleil. Brother Drake, how did you watch that for over 5 minutes? It was very pornographic (not that I dislike pretty graceful women - and working on computers since before the WWW I've seen plenty of porn.
But not with my morning tea).
Her movements were beautiful, but I'm afraid if you're trying to give us examples of poor, poor, Christianity, you should at least pick something Christian.
If you go to Liquidsky on the web it says :
"LiquidSky brings together a highly trained troupe of diverse artists who create expressive performances with a mesmerizing display of grace, athleticism and the beauty of cirque entertainment. Our high-quality aerial acts and unique performances will elevate your private party, nightclub, fundraising gala, or corporate event to a higher level of excellence."http://www.liquidskyent.com/
In other words, dear brother, it's not Christian at all.
Please brother, give us better examples of poor, poor, Christianity. There are churches here, even in hillbilly backwater churches, that put on quite the entertainment ; with several big screen TVs, a full rockin' band, and angelic singers. I've been there. It's very moving.
And it's a Southern Baptist church. So after preaching about donating money, there was an altar call.
Brother Drake, not only do words change down thru the ages, so does culture. This is the Multimedia Age. It was before my time, but I heard that even the local churches were embracing multimedia, to show Witness Lee speaking on a big screen. You can even find local church meetings on YouTube. So if you want to show examples of poor, poor, Christianity, show one of them. Not Cirque du Soleil.
It's all poor, poor, poor, Christianity out there. And you are right. It is like a Circus act. When I was in the LC, a couple of visitors to the meeting turned to each other and said, "These people are half a bubble off level."
And they were right. I was.
Keep trying brother. What about the present Met Gala : "Heavenly Bodies: Fashion and the Catholic Imagination."?
