"We are what we eat" and this includes fast-food spirituality (but I'm not just talking about this style of worship).

My opinion...

On one hand at least they are going and I was glad to see the fellowship part.

On the other hand..."it's easy", "...however I want". Isn't it really about what God expects of us? I think in a car, distractions are more prevalent. You can hold conversations, write out your bills, or even paint your nails at the same time. When I think about tithing, I think that 10% of our undivided TIME is more important.

So...how do they get to know the others of the gathering? How do they partake of the communion? How to they 'give as they have prospered'? How do they sing and admonishish one another with Psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs?
It is bound to be a very watered down version of what the assembling is supposed to be, according to the scriptures.
Okay, I watched the video, and got answers to all except the singing. Weird !
Certainly not for me.

To elaborate a bit more.. Satisfaction with fast-food worship or spirituality is the deeper problem. Many churches simply exist to feed people what they want... so this is a result, and not necessarily a cause of the problem, altho it continues to compound it.

I think it's a great idea! You can come in your pajamas and bring your own snacks. Also, then people who smoke could get through a church service.

It seems more like a congregaton of cars than people.
