part of the point of churches is to get beta males to take leadership in the home and church. otherwise they just go completely passive.

Elevator church? I'd be claustrophobic.

I'd rather go to an Escalator church.

Neither of the two churches mention are bible following churches. They are among the many churches led by false teachers who fool gullible people who are seeking God into thinking that as long as they show up to their church each week with their rent money they are headed for heaven. Then they buy $65,000,000.00 private jets, $1,000,000.00 chauffeur driven limousines, $20,000,000.00 parsonages, and private security teams, all paid for with money from gullible people who can’t even pay the current months rent. All these false teachers are headed for the lake of fire but what bothers me is how many easily fooled seekers of Christ are being taken with them.

It seems that the Elevation Church has gone woke and leaving the biblically sound Southern Baptist.

This is good. Cut off the cancer at the root. Let the woke churches die on the vine. They will only attract degenerates and Satanist.

They have good music, and that’s about it. The preaching is unscriptural and seeker-friendly junk food.

I don’t have a dog in this fight, but unless he changed his mind, I read years ago that Rick Warren and his wife had decided to stay in the modest home they’d bought decades ago.

I guess the ‘Elevation’Church and the Saddleback Church claim the right to excise 1 Corinthians 14: 33-35 from Almighty God’s Holy word.
Hate to be them

The first step in the slippery slope of apostacy.

Let’s also hope the SBC cleans its own house also. I wonder if those expelled churches actually have those numbers of faithful members. Sound like places to practice “churchianity”...y’know ..don’t rock the current decrepit culture boat

Does the Elevation Church have any connection to the Leaping Berylians?

Any congregation that is too big for everyone to know everyone, isn’t a congregation.
