Megachurch Pastor Puts on ‘Die Hard’-Themed Christmas Service And Does THIS Wild Thing
Protestia ^

Brian Tome is the lead pastor of Crossroads Church, a seeker-sensitive, multisite megachurch in Cincinnati, Ohio, that advertises itself as a “place for people who have given up on church but not on God.” They further note that they are an “interdenominational church” and that “Our beliefs are shared by many different Christian denominations, and we welcome everyone. It’s like one big pool party, with Methodists and Catholics and Presbyterians all doing cannonballs together.”
For the introduction of the Sunday morning sermon, Brian Tome reenacts a scene from the movie, climbing through an air duct before emerging on stage, looking beat up and bruised, before lighting up a real cigarette and smoking on stage.

Any idea how many Christians still smoke? We attend a really conservative Bible based church, but there’s a sign on the bathroom stall door -— “please do not smoke in bathroom”. Having said that, it doesn’t seem like a good idea for a pastor to do that in a church service. (Thank God my husband quit smoking several years ago, after having smoked for over 50 years!)

The audience is looking for entertainment, not for a gospel message.

Diehard is NOT a Christmas movie.
Just thought I’d share that.
