Mega Complex: The Mega Mind Preacher and his Mega Church.

Once upon a time, in a not so far land, called MEGAlopolis, there was a little boy who dreamed MEGAdreams: "When i grow up i will be biggest, most powerful man on earth, the MEGAman". After many years, he started his own business: A construction business. One day he decided: "I will build the biggest hydro electric dam in the world, it will generate 20 billion MEGAwatts, i will call it the MEGAdam". He tried and tried and tried... but he wasn't an hydraulic engineer, so, he failed. Then he started another business: A warfare business. One day he decided: "I will build the biggest atomic bomb in the world, it will have 20 billion MEGAtons of power, i will call it the MEGAbomb". He tried and tried and tried... but he wasn't a nuclear engineer, so, he failed. Then he started another business: A computer business. One day he decided: "I will build the biggest computer in the world, it will have a 20 billion MEGAbytes hard drive, i will call it the MEGAcomputer". He tried and tried and tried... but he wasn't a computer engineer, so, he failed. Then he had a period of depression, suicide came to his mind, but, one day he decided to pay a visit to the neighboring church. The preacher was on fire, shouting: "You cannot outgive God. If you give $10 He will give you $100 back; if you give $100 He will give you $1,000 back...". Then he started another business: A church business. One day he decided: "I will build the biggest church in the world, it will make MEGAmillions of dollars, i will call it MEGAchurch". He started preaching the prosperity theory and the "broadway" gospel, selling t-shirts, holy water, handkerchiefs, coffee mugs, etc. One day he woke up and realized that his dream came true. He became The Mega Mind Preacher. My point is: Along the way, the church embraced the cultural "american dream", which means: Bigger, better, more, in a way that it is doing whatever it takes to have a bigger temple (building), a better environment (grace only gospel) and attract more people (size matters more than righteousness). In itself, the bigger, better, more, is not wrong, the problem is, in order to achieve that, preachers lowered Jesus' "standard" to a "human standard", as Jesus said, Matthew 15:7-9. From Jesus being "the narrow Way", preachers are "broadening" the way to allow more people to walk through it, just forgetting that Jesus said that the "broad way" leads to eternal condemnation. So, holiness, truthfulness, righteousness, faithfulness matter. Again, we must go back to the beginning (early church) and learn with the apostles of Jesus Christ, how to be faithful to Christ's Gospel. By the way, a time is coming, Jesus spoke about it in Matthew 15:13, that the "business oriented churches" will close their doors (file for bankruptcy), because Jesus Christ's church is a "body", not a "business", an "organism", not an "organization". Even if this sounds "crazy" right now, time will tell if i am lying or speaking the truth. Again, i'm not against Mega Churches, maybe there's one out there that is a "body", not a "business" oriented church, i just don't know anyone. Still, i prefer a "David" like church (full of the Holy Spirit) than a "goliath" one. For the ones who think that size matters, i wish you could ask goliath about it.
