I was raised in a small town Church of Christ with gospel preaching truth in love pastors, even when the truth hurts before it sets us free! Parents who showed me by example how to give my best and first fruits to the Mighty God who created me, the Son who died and rose to save me and the Holy Spirit who comforts me daily. Where Acapella hymns filled our hearts to overflowing. Where we sacrificially loved our brothers and sisters and widows and orphans and strangers. Where "children's church" was a Sunday school class where we learned about everything from creation, to the cross, to the crown of Glory awaiting us. Then the expectation and example of sitting still, listening, praying and worshipping God as one body with the Lord Jesus Christ as our head. I still attend there. My children, my grandchildren are there with me. They are the hope of the future church. God is the center, the reason we come together three times a week. I praise Him for His blessings, knowing I too have a cross to bear that I will place at the feet of Jesus some day. What more could anyone ask?
@@The_Trident_Master absolutely nothing! Which is the point! Your response was super hilarious in that you actually politely answered writer’s question. It was very funny to me.
I love the video. People saying non denominational is garbage. Jesus wasn’t a Baptist , Lutheran, Methodist, etc. So what if you are a small non denominational that doesn’t tithe? If you follow the scripture as it is, not based on denomination, that is closer to Jesus than any other denomination. If it is not in the Book, you shouldn’t be teaching it. Same for rainbow flags and lead female pastors in churches. Maybe everyone should stick to the original version in Koine Greek for the word. The KJV has unicorns in it. Catholics pray to dead people (Mary) which we are not supposed to do either. We could tear every denomination up. How about follow Jesus. John 4:21-24 21 ¶ Jesus said to her, “Woman, believe Me, the hour is coming when you will neither on this mountain, nor in Jerusalem, worship the Father. 22 “You worship what you do not know; we know what we worship, for salvation is of the Jews. 23 “But the hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth; for the Father is seeking such to worship Him. 24 “God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth.” Just saying.
All that and they make the people twice the sons of Gehenna than themselves. There are people starving in their communities, single mothers, orphans and widows desperate for help, but they can seat 2000… they have a rock concert every Sunday morning and evening but the indigent in their communities are outside the walls and out of their minds… oh sure the congregants LOVE the feeling from knowing their “church” has “programs” that supposedly help the needy but they would never set foot in a trailer park or poor section 8 housing complex themselves and teach the gospel face to face and make disciples (talmidim) for ישוע (Jesus)…
Used to go to a church like this, the best part was when the pastor would go off topic. And then condense his sermon down, because he thinks church can be done in an hour, then speeds of to another campus. Glad I left, I found another church it's still big, but without the hype
Next stanza (the slow part): "Our feel-good doctrine may be unnerving~ So go on, pretend we're serving~ Your deepest spir-i-tual need and wounds~ But when open up that Bible to read for your.... self...~ You'll find *that* God cannot be found... in 501c3 tombs...~"

The point of going to a church besides spirituality is a community resource/ connection hub where people come together to help each other. Having a pastor on a screen seems to completely defeat the purpose. How can your pastor lead without talking to the flock? How can they tailor their message and their resources if their campus is scattered across town/ the country/ the world? How can they focus on the community if they’re too big? Lots of churches are a net good for their community but these ones are soulless husks bleeding congregation from the good ones that care

What a funny satire of a a sad situation. The singer is right as the “evangelical” (do people even know what that word means anymore?) church has degenerated to “feel-good-ism” and “experience” as the only sufficient rule for faith and practice. Oh, and add to that “be winsome” and “love thy neighbor” without reference to the first greatest commandment of which this one was only to be analogous to it.

All that to say, Shama, may your children rise up and call you blesses!
