Another Mega Church In The Making - Las Vegas Style!

Another Emerging Star-Pastor Craig Gross -Pastor of The Strip Church!

Its name is "The Strip Church"-Sin Cities Little Church House" see for yourselves: http://stripchurch.com/ navigate it well you can click on xxx.church and see photos and click on them and get loads of info.



...I happened to catch a glimpse of its "Pastor" being interview on "Night line" last night...http://abcnews.go.com/Nightline/ "Sin City Saviors" is the title of the show... a few minutes is all I could stomach...Here we have another example of a segment of the "Church" re-packaging Jesus Christ in order to make Him appealing to the world, this time the target area is Las Vegas...ahhhhh...

Oh dear it seems that some never get it ... the Truth of the Gospel is all that is needed, and then the Holy Spirit goes to work on a soul... that's to easy, that doesn't gain attention or mammon!

It makes me sick how some cheapen Jesus Christ and think they have to bring Him down to a level where they see themselves better able to entice people to accept Him. They use huge signs in public reading "Jesus Loves Porn Stars". This young evangilist is along the lines of Joel Osteen in his doctrine, God Help Las Vegas!

Listen, sinners know that they are not accepted of God. Having been lost once myself I know this. All I needed was the truth and simplicty of the Gospel of Salvation preached to me, not something dressed up to resemble the world so I could accept it. I had, had enough of the world it held nothing for me, I needed to be told that I should repent of my sins.

This young pastor seeks the attention of the world, and has made it to "Nightline" , and also to the "Maury Povich Show", oh and he seeks donations to meet this yearly budget of a million plus dollars!
OH yes definitely a Rick Warren in the making ....ahhhh when will all this utter nonsense stop?

This young pastor is being hailed by other "Church" planters as some what of a marketing genius...well isn't that special! Move over Rick Warren!

Call me cynical but I just smell one huge rat in the mix here. God help this young man's soul and the souls of all who involve themselves in this endeavor.

This church and others like it:

God will put a stop to this foolishness. It will be exposed in its time, and that time is very, very short.
