I have known some of these mega preachers and gone to some of their churches.

Many times against bible teachings they allow themselves to become the focus of the church and not God.

Here, is a little something that some of these mega preachers need to think about:

Taken from Halley's Bible Handbook

Warning Against Apostasy

Jude (vv.4-19) Recognizing The False Teachers

Leaders within the church:

"Godless men (v.4)
They change the grace of our God into a license for immorality (v.4)
They deny Jesus Christ (v.4)
Like Sodom they are given to sexual immorality (v.7)
They are dreamers who pollute their own bodies (v.8)
Like unreasoning animals they destroy themselves (v.10)
Blemishes at your love feasts (v.12)
Shepherds who feed only themselves (v.12)
Clouds without rain (v.12)
Trees without fruit (v.12)
Wild waves of the sea, foaming up their shame (v.13)
Wandering stars, for whom blackest darkness has been reserved (v.13)
Grumblers (v.16)
Faultfinders (v.16)
Boasting about themselves (v.16)
Scoffers who follow their own ungodly desires (v.18)
THEY FLATTER OTHERS FOR THEIR OWN ADVANTAGE (v.16)
They are people who divide you (v.19)"

I see these same characteristics in regular church members in many congregations.
