Don't be sad for the congregation.

Warren's "church" is cafeteria christianity at its finest -- theology a mile wide and a micron thick; little more than another SoCal self - help cult.

Those who wish to get their ears tickled are probably not on the narrow path anyway -- though I am sure that some of the attendees have hearts totally sold out to Jesus.

I generally agree with you. However, I’m sure many, many folk there are true seekers wanting the Truth and to find the Answer. I’m sad for those because I’m afraid they will not find the Truth there.

And they'll move on to a real church as the Holy Spirit leads them.

The next mega church I see that actually seems to be submitted to God's Word will be the first one.

Anything larger than 2,000 adults in the congregation is not going to have much theological depth, fellowship, accountability, or strong preaching associated with it. Strong churches raise up leaders that can be senior pastors in their own right and birth more churches.

A not for profit corporation that collects donations once a week from the most people that they can cram into the doors to watch some flim flammery after latte-ing up at the coffee bar can be many things. But not a church.
