Funny you mention this. Just this evening I had a discussion with 'the band director' about these sorts of things.

He belongs to a rather large Southern Baptist Church. I think technically it could be considered a mega church as it seats 4000. Stadium Seating. The ministers at that church do not stray far from the Bible. Ever. I have heard two of the ministers from this SB chuch. While I disagree with their interpretation of the Wedding at Canna, they don't add all of the self-help, health and wealth, name it and claim it theology.

Anyway, TBD has had the opportunity to watch Joel. TBD remarked that Joel sold "feel good sinless theology" and little actual gospel. That is what makes so many mega churches so successful. Joel's wife hurt his image in the Houston area.
