I got a sick feeling when Pastor Ed said, “It’s every pastor’s dream to walk onto this stage…” I should hope there are one or two pastors in the world whose dream is to see God’s peace and justice come to all people.
I’m not a pastor. I don’t even play one on TV. I’m just a lifelong church-goer who is tired of Sunday morning crowds being considered the proof of God’s work. God must be more concerned with drawing people to walk with Him than filling church buildings, whether multi-thousand seat halls or even small pasteboard buildings with a few benches.
Maybe it’s just me…

You’re not alone, Tim. I got that same icky feeling…
I agree. It seems as though they are almost mocking it, did you see the 60 minutes interview it seems like they are kinda mocking that interview.
It just seems like we should be more concerned about walking with God and not Just being constantly increased.
Did he say “off the chain?”
And how creepy is it that Joel just comes out of the floor?
“Am I that corny?”
Yes. Sorry, Joel.
Matthew, Thanks for sharing this even though it made me mad to think how materialistic these wealthy, well known pastors are.
P.S.: I recently attended The Village Church (Pastor- Matt Chandler), ’nuff said:).
I feel dirty. I need a shower
