Bay Area Fellowship Church in Corpus Christi, Texas, will give away more than $2 million worth of prizes, including cars and TVs, during its Easter services.

Why not? They pay kids for going to school in some places. I mean think about it. It is all about materialism right?

If your church has an inspired message and a Pastor able to convey that message to the congregation, such cheesy promotions would not be necessary.

I hope it can help to reach those who are in need of the Easter message the most. I’ve never seen an outreach like this before. A lot of time and money seems to have gone into it. The Lord works in mysterious ways.

The megachurches leave me cold. It seems more like “feel good” religion rather than Christianity. But, I'm sure the pastors live well.

The more curious thing is this -- where did they get all that money to give away these prices ? Not even the richest companies in Wall Street provide such gimmick.

I agree that may well be the case, but many of the disciples came for the bread, and not the BREAD. I hope it can serve some good.

Good God...that's wrong! Sounds more like “Reverend Ike” than an actual Christian church.

Where in the New Testament did Jesus give away free donkeys and plows to selected lucky followers??

I'm a non-believer who has read both testaments, several works of Christian apologetics, and has a great deal of respect for Christianity.
May I ask the believers on this thread....
Wasn't Christ's message more along the lines of "come to Me and you will find that your "need" for a new car or a big screen will pass from you??"

Most who attend won’t receive “salvation” but they will receive a hefty invoice from the IRS!
Bwahahahaha

This is disgusting....I think of the following verse
Then they came to Jerusalem. And He entered the temple and began to drive out those who were buying and selling in the temple, and overturned the tables of the money changers and the seats of those who were selling doves;
Mark 11:15
