They have had 11,000 people at services last week. When it gets that big, it’s a business. Christ drove the money lenders out of the temple. Same deal.

All churches have to be run as a business. They all have bills and they all have “income”. Just because a church is big does not mean its fallen away from God. Likewise, just because a church is small doesn’t mean its following God.

The big churches typically have a very charismatic pastor and a leadership team that understands meeting peoples needs will grow a church.

None of my comments should be construed as supporting this specific farce.

It’s become a business for sure.My position on joining a church is simple;if I can’t remember the names of at least 80 percent of the members then it’s too big.
