No one can call himself your pastor if he doesn’t know your name. Mega-churches are self-defeating.

Truer words. I belonged to one church for more than fifteen years, watched it grow from just a few families to a mega church, and drifted away when I absolutely could not get an appointment with the pastor. He didn't even know who I was, though he had baptized me and my children. Not an arrogant man--indeed, a very holy one--but just too busy running the equivalent of a large company.

We went to a very, very large Calvary Chapel, and the pastor always had at least 2 “bodyguards” with him everywhere.
