ECCLESIA REFORMATA ET SEMPER REFORMANDA!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ECCLESIA REFORMATA ET SEMPER REFORMANDA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Is that your church? What a great picture (except for the snow). :O)
I'm a little curious as to why the WCC would make such a fuss about megachurches. Criticizing Christian doctrine is out of character. I suspect the organizations who are members are starting to be a bit troubled by the lost of people leaving for these megachurches.
Give me a church like yours. It may not have a food court but I'm sure you get fed.
That's a pretty bold statement now.
..."mostly ran on a business model to make worshipers feel good and were shallow in their theology.[...]
The megachurches simply wanted individuals to feel good about themselves, he said."
For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but [wanting] to have their ears tickled, they will accumulate for themselves teachers in accordance to their own desires;
and will turn away their ears from the truth, and will turn aside to myths.--2 Timothy 4:3-4 (NAS)
Sadly, it is not just megachurches that do this! (And no, I'm not saying ALL megachurches do!)
Give me the directions and I'm there!
Until then, I'll settle for my mega-church that preaches the truth, unlike those mega-churches that are so shallow.
Mega-Churches Seem to Teach Many of the New Fads that are Generated Periodically Within Professing Christian Circles. Whether it's "Felt-Needs," "Prosperity," the (Blasphemous) "god-Hood of man," or a Dozen Other Errors, One must Beware of a Lack of Discernment that is Often Evident in these Churches. (Of Course, in these Days of Doctrinal Apostacy, One can Find Grievous Errors in Many Places; we're Truly Living Out 2Tim.4:3,4, Unfortunately!)
