I don't need to listen to him. To say that the quality of his sermons should equate to a level of acceptability in cult-leader worship is wrong. If he's really, really good, we should allow for more and more relaxation of standards expected of a church leader. Why, he's really good [so don't criticize his 16,000 ft house]. You don't understand, he's really good [so while maybe coloring books with dear leader in it makes us feel a little queasy, we look the other way], cause he's good. He is NOT good, because his responsibilities go FAR beyond making you feel good post sermon or drawing a lot of people in off the street.

If you google his name you don't exactly find a lot of material referring to the gospel message, or bible passages, do you? Actually all you find is his side business of writing, building 16,000 ft houses. He doesn't seem to lose much sleep at night about his name tied to these things, vs. his name tied to the work of the Lord.

From your own church literature:
1. We SERVE a Lead Pastor who seeks and hears from God. 3. We SERVE a Lead Pastor we can trust. 7. We SERVE a Lead Pastor who pours into us spiritually and professionally. 16. We SERVE a Lead Pastor who goes first.

Y'all serve Him ? You might not be a cult member but you rub shoulders on Sunday with those who do. Worse, your 'Leader' is quite fine with it.
