If that is what the mega churches do fine. What I have seen of them they are more about the pastor than the savior. The pastor at the mega church in Houston is a classic example.
He writes pop psychology books and get rich junk. You are not helping new Christians or bringing in the unsaved by saying that Christ is simply another way to get along in the world. "I have overcome the world".
Again, just my observation. If there are mega churches who are preaching the Word and making Christ the center of all things then praise God for them. I just haven't seen it.
The mega churches are known by their pastors. It's "Chuck Swindell's church", etc. etc.
Are you rejecting the whole fish because of a few small bones?
Or perhaps you need to be in another congregation that meets your needs better?

God talks all thru the Bible about making Christians prosperous. One scripture actually says "You have not becasue you asked not" and another says Christ came so we can live life and live it more abundantly.
I do agree with the fact that you do have evangelist who ask for money 90% of their program and preach 10%. I do not agree with that either. But others like Pastor Joel Osteen and Joyce Meyers have great services about all different topics.
You will always find stuff on the net about why this person is bad etc. But, the good ministries have an independant financial accountablitiy firm and other measures in place to combat corruption.
Didn't Jesus and Paul warn us about those who would come along and make merchandise of the flock, and who wouldn't preach sound doctrine, but that which tickled the ears of listeners? Joel Osteen can't even articulate the Gospel to Larry King, and Rick Warren uses whatever poor translation of the Bible suits his purposes at any given moment. Christians should steer clear of these shallow types.
