City Harvest Church singing to Lady Gaga/ Black Eyed Peas songs

CITY Harvest Church is somewhat different from an ordinary place of worship - it uses stars and pop culture to stay relevant, counts a number of prominent business leaders among its congregation and its events have links all around the world.

Even founder Kong Hee calls himself a businessman on the church website and, together with his singer wife Ho Yeow Sun, owns two companies.

One is International Harvest, which company records say is a provider of corporate training services and motivational courses.

The other is fashion firm Skin Couture, which has three boutiques - Ed Hardy at Heeren, Skin at Great World City and Christian Audigier at Ion. Clothes sold are described as 'glam rock'.

This rock theme is even extended to City Harvest's church services, which some members say are akin to attending a rock concert.

Church members have been known to go as far as adapting Lady Gaga or Black Eyed Peas songs for concerts and celebrations, swopping original lyrics for some of a more religious nature. These shows are complete with full-scale sets, costumes and coloured lighting, which go beyond an amateur production.

How come?? Really, really bad. Dont u even know that Lady Gaga is the follower of satan?? she doesn't even confess that Jesus is the Lord. :(

God says to worship in spirit and in truth. Not sure whether this is the case here...

City Harvest is to churches what Singaporean politicians are to worldwide politics. Complete jokes.

braveheart 120609 you right i agree with you .

...believe it or not you cannot worship God through this kind of music even if the lyrics was change...

I sometimes think that Christians in certain camps do things,such as produce the show above,because they get a certain amount of pleasure from offending 'weaker brethren' who they smugly believe need teaching some vital lesson.Also,if Christians believe that they can 'redeem' worldly culture and gimmicks and use it to win people for Christ then they are sadly mistaken.Let Lady Gaga et al do what they do best and Christians stick to what they do best and maybe its message would be effective.
