Guest Post: Sam Storms on the mega-church



THIS ARTICLE is must reading if you attend a church of over 2,000 people. . . like me.



A brief quote...

"Should we hope to draw people to our churches and strategize to implement the most effective (and biblical) means for doing so Certainly. Should we strive to create an atmosphere that is exciting and appealing and as free from religious boredom as possible Yes, and again, yes. How? By holding forth in Scripture and song and sacrament, in prayer and praise and performance, the majesty of a sovereign God and his saving work in Jesus Christ. If, on top of that, you can provide a good cup of coffee in an air-conditioned café before showing them to their cushioned chair along with a map containing directions to the church gymnasium, do so.

But first, give them God!"
