Reminds me of the "encounter" with a "pastor" of one such "flock" in central Florida. The "church" got a few acres in our rural area and is putting up a HUGE CONCRETE MONSTROSITY TOTALLY out of character with all other COMMERCIAL structures in the area which have taken care to retain a "Country Look".
The "pastor" when approached concerning his plans for his COMMERCIAL AUDITORIUM POSING AS A "CHURCH" and asked whether he could conform with the character of buildings in the area replied... "IF YOU CAUSE US ANY PROBLEMS WE WILL SUE YOUR ASSES INTO BANKRUPTCY!!!
Personally, I hope that his venture is swallowed up by a sinkhole as an act of God!!!
That's WorshipTainment!
I missed the part in the Bible that set zoning and occupancy requirements for Christian churches.
