Mega Churches

I talked with someone here at work today. He's a very nice older guy. He's a security guard who is very nice and conversational. I asked him what Church he belonged to and he told me. He started talking about how much they have grown in the past 10 years. They now have about 2000 in attendance each Sunday. He said that he used to think that the smaller Church was better but now he has changed his mind. He said his pastor once said some to the effect "If its growing then God must be doing somthing. Don't you want to be where God is working?" He also talked about how many Churches they have planted across the United States and how much those Churches are growing.

I've been thinking about that alot this morning. Do I really want to be where all the action is? Th Here are some of my thoughts:

• Just because it's big doesn't make it the best.
• Just because a lot of people are flocking to the place...What does that prove?
  
• Alot of people are being mislead by false teachers.
• How do I know I'm not being mislead?
• Most people are just dumb sheep.
  
• Maybe God is setting up the board in a certain way, with the mega-church, to make a big move later.
• These things come and go.
