I say the more the merrier. <BR/>I understand however that the complaint is usually directed against the means by which someone achieved mega-church status. The criticism is that in many-mega churches the sermons are not characterized by the kind of sermon Peter preached in Acts 2 when he said things like, “This man [Jesus] was handed over to you by God's set purpose and foreknowledge; and you, with the help of wicked men, put him to death by nailing him to the cross” (2:23) and "Repent and be baptized…Save yourselves from this corrupt generation."<BR/>Rather the sermons sound more like exhortations from Stuart Smalley. Where is “God loves you and has a wonderful plan for life” in Acts 2? Better yet where in all of Acts can you find any preaching that says that? Not trying to stir up a debate here. I am just clarifying one of the common complaints against mega-churches.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09045435425352838499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24561639.post-57444387189849778442008-08-05T15:31:00.000-05:002008-08-05T15:31:00.000-05:00Jason,What are people so afraid of?Jason,<BR/><BR/>What are people so afraid of?INTELBLKMNhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01596677691103544624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24561639.post-8931611108232769982008-08-05T12:15:00.000-05:002008-08-05T12:15:00.000-05:00no one had to. he was increasing God's kingdom, no...no one had to. he was increasing God's kingdom, not man's.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
