If these people spent half as much time extolling the virtues of their own empty churches instead of tearing down the ones that are filled, they might find that their own churches would begin to grow. But then if their churches grew, they might turn into - gasp - mega churches.
I got news for the naysayers:
(Acts 2:47 KJV) Praising God, and having favour with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily such as should be saved.
Praising God = Happy Clappy
Having favor with all the people = Popular with the unwashed masses
And the Lord added to the church daily such as should be saved = Mega Churches
We have nine pastors, each with a different gift/calling. A couple deal specifically with the business aspects of the church. They are not the senior pastors.
On the rare occasions when we see all nine pastors on the platform at once, I am amazed at the picture of completeness in ministry and how their gifts compliment each other.
