We’ve already had several visit. They’re pretty easy to identify. Since 90% of the congrgations of churches in America are 200 or less members they stick out like sore thumbs. They could infiltrate many of the mega churches pretty easily because of the large number of visitors but I doubt they would hear the type of contoversial messages they are looking for because most of them stick to safe, non-offensive topics. Sadly most of the mega churches I’ve visited are spritually dead and dogmatic in nature.
I’d be making plans for those visitors to disappear.
Permanently.
I don’t know what “megachurches” you’re talking about, but our church has grown immensely in these past years and now we have about 5 thousand congregants and visitors every weekend. Our church has grown because the unadulterated Word is faithfully preached. We’ve had our share of negative press because our pastors do not at all avoid controversial topics, and they do not compromise the message.
Our pastor didn’t shrink back at all today.
Please be careful of painting us all with the same brush. At a time like this, we need to pull together.
