Dallas is FULL of mega-churches. I can't complain about that, per se, because it got me back to going to church.
But, I remember many a time the preacher there talking about we have nothing but the best lights, sound, auditorium, church, etc, and wouldn't God want the best for His house?
I think the answer lies for what you use it for. It's called a seeker's church for a reason.
I always wanted more out of the sermons then the *snip* insert bible verse here and make it fit my sermon *snip* sort of view. In fact, I think that's borderline sacreligious because a verse taken out of context is very very dangerous. I found that one of the mega-churches did that all the time, and it made me mad because it meant that the clearer picture of what the verse was talking about got NO attention because it might have offended someone *Gasp*.
That addresses the mega-church question.
As far as Catholicism, I can never get a Catholic (HELP me here, please) explain to me why you have to have a man to confess your sins to when clearly in the New Testament you are supposed to confess to God himself through Jesus Christ. The whole principle of the Catholic religion never made sense to me. Thoughts?
