Juggling the heads of sheep to entertain the goats, FL, an 8000- member Southern Baptist megachurch, Church by the Glades, continues its celebration of all things fleshly. Known for their extravagant attempts to keep their members entertained, in the past few months alone they’ve played a cover of Run D.M.C’s sleazy and sexual song Walk this Way in church, a Kasey Musgraves cover which saw aerial silkists flying above the crowd, and a cover of Kendrick Lamar’s N95, only cleaned up and sanitized for church audiences, removing the curse words and racial epitaphs for a sermon illustration.
In The Power of Small series, we learn that Pastor David Hughes “continues his teaching on Proverbs 3, showing us how to mimic the behavior of the locusts by banding together with like-minded people.”
In a strong case for the Regulative Principle of Worship, the worship band plays Lenny Kravitz’s ‘Fly Away’ as the main singer swings over the crowd, with the only explanation given for the inclusion is that the church likes to “have fun’ and ‘be sensational.’
