I grew up watching the Crystal Cathedral on tv. Yes, as the article states, “It’s a problem common to personality driven ministries.” While personalities fade, the Bible and His church never fades.

A sorry story for a good man.

Schuller’s Crystal Cathedral started out as a drive-in ministry at a closed Drive-In Theater. People then, and up till the last time I looked (in a very limited capacity way in the parking lot), could stay in their car and listen to the audio using a provided Drive-In speaker.

I would love to hear the details on what differences they have...specifically why he fired his son.

Wikipedia states:

However, where his father's preaching tends to be heavier on psychological reference and lighter on scriptural reference, Robert A. Schuller's messages rely considerably on scriptural reference, hermeneutics, and apologetics, making the role of "positivism" secondary and more in line with mainstream evangelicalism.

"The final months of 2008 were devastating for our ministry," the 82-year-old pastor wrote. The Crystal Cathedral blames the recession for its woes.

A sandcastle cathedral won't weather the storm.

It's a problem common to personality driven ministries.

The problem is that the only "personality" in genuine Christian ministry is Jesus Christ, the Lord.

We do not and may not follow men. Such cults of personality an unbiblical evil thing, I Cor. 1;12,13; I Cor. 3:4-7.

Good riddance. Shuller has all the depth of a puddle.
