Deacon Lisa Schwandt, Pastor of Worship Arts, plays the character of the Parable Princess for children's worship.
Let's see if we can dissect the multiple errors and compounded errors in this one sentence.

1) The office of Deacon is qualified as men (and, if married, their wives are examined as Deacon wives)
2) Deacons are not Pastors
3) "Lisa" is a good name, just not an authoritative sounding name
4) "Parable Princess" is not about God, and thus not a focus of true worship
5) The focus is on the music/acting talent of "Lisa's" impersonation, rather than our Triune God
6) "Worship Arts" is not a biblical function
7) Corporate worship is corporate worship, art is art
8) Children should not have separated "worship" (particularly under the pretenses "Lisa" is operating under)
9) God destroyed thousands in Israel for such abomination, though it seemed right "in their own eyes."

Pray for Lisa's repentance... that she will see how offensive this is to her God, and that she will find a biblical, reformed church to serve God in a way He has prescribed.

(I could not have articulated all this a year ago, praise God for Puritan Board)
