I just really enjoy this song. I got the download. Who is the operatic voice or is it a sample?

Some mega churches is seems are like a business. I know some that will give out little lunch bags to employees at area businesses. Which yeah that is cool, but probably people who have jobs can afford their own lunch. I guess I just see it as the church trying to gain members which means they gain tithing. Find the poor, elderly, widows, single parent folks to give the lunches. I see lots of merchandise being sold at churches also. These pastors are living like fat rats in a cheese factory. When you live a lavish life that is given to you because you are preaching the word of God I think there is obvious conflict. Say you were a preacher at a MEga Church and ,God forbid, you lost your faith or committed a major sin where you should step down but only you or a few of your top employees of the church know about it.. You think that Pastor is gong to give up that fat paycheck. Too much temptation. Too much at risk. Camel through the eye of a needle.
I remember reading a book by Michael Card where he went to a Christian product convention. You know where they would sale bible figures and christian board games and anything they could market to christians. He said he felt compelled to start turning all the tables over like Jesus did in the temple. I guess he felt like it trivialized God and his work. Of course the irony was I was reading the book at a Christian book store I worked at.

Should a mega church or any Church for that matter be built on credit? I remember one church I attended said they wouldn't add to the church or build anything unless they already had the money. Which to me was biblical

yeah but I really enjoy the Coffe House in my mega Church. In the Dallas area Mega Churches are popping up everywhere. I don't know... I just feel all that money goes into it and I think to myself would Jesus need a big flashy auditorium? How many wells could be dug or houses built for people in poverty with the money into that Mega Church? I'm from a house church background. I really felt ministered to in that forum but things got too personal for a few elder members and it all fell apart.

I put this in the wrong thread so I'm going to try to tie it in with Da. More Churches should mean I have increased odds of having Da or The LD's play my town

I was told by a local preacher that he found out from the city there is over 70 Churches in the town I live. A town of 19,000 people. That's like a Chruch for every 300 people. Is that normal?

I know this thread is off topic . Whether or not kicking gays out of Church is tough. You don't want to keep people from hearing the word of God but being a member of the body of Christ and living a reprobate life is very dangerous for other members of the Church and confusing to the lost who could be saved. Paul told the church to remove a fella that was sleeping with his father's wife. He knew it was causing gossip situations and distraction and that apparently the fella wasn't getting the message of Chirst or refused to get it. I believe Paul even said the secular would looked at this situation with distain. Paul past judgement on him and said it he had to give him unto Satan so that in the end it was the best hope for the guy.
