To me, Mega Church, means a large and impersonable church. A place where one is lost in the crowd and thus a sense of not being cared for as an individual. I understand that some Mega Churches have “small groups” of one type or another to make sure that individuals are known and cared for, and here I am talking primarily about spiritual needs.
Of course I grew up in a small church of a couple hundred members and am a member of one that size now. I guess I think of a church as a place, “where everyone knows your name.” (And I never watched Cheers.)
And I agree with your statement: “If the Church is preaching the word and not ‘Fluff and Puff’ then I would hope that it is packing them in!”
I guess I am not as interested in knowing everyone (Though I do know a good number) as much as I want when the day comes and I cry out Lord, Lord that he will know and recognize me.
Thanks for the ping and your comments. I agree that quantity and quality are often opposed in terms of spiritual needs.
