***A great many are drawn to the "mega-churches" because its okay to not know something.***

And a content to stay that way. I'd venture a guess that most people don't have any idea of what they're supposed to be saved from or how that takes place.

Americans have a fear of learning. Just look at how publik skoolz have been dumbed down. Every other institution is bound to follow.

The point I'm trying to make is that evangelism involves creating an environment where people can feel free to ask questions. The true seeker will want more than pablum pretty quickly. However, if that environment doesn't exist how many seekers end up in churches that don't feed them.

At my church, in a large midwest city, our membership is approx 2,000. However, we have at services 1,000 people who are not members, some coming for 10+ years. 25% of our membership are former Roman Catholics. A great deal of our outreach is focused on letting people feel comfortable to ask questions, all kinds of adult Sunday school classes and in home evangelism.

The message on Sunday is ALWAYS straight from SCRIPTURE.
