My thought of millions of people attending Mega-Churches is:

“Vote for Obama” they chant, “Vote for Obama” in unison....

The founder of the “home church” movement in England, Canon Ernest Southcott, said it best:

“The holiest moment of the church service is the moment when God’s people—strengthened by preaching and sacrament—go out of the church door into the world to be the church. We don’t go to church; we are the church.”

The church, therefore, is not a place. It’s not the building, it’s not the location, and it’s not the denomination. We—God’s people who are in Christ Jesus—are the church.

My experience is that to many attend church leave with the same ‘baggage’ they bring in with them.

They don’t understand that Salvation is much like Freedom, it is given to many who did nothing to deserve it and lost by many because they fail to preserve it.
