3 common responses to Megachurches

There are a lot of responses to megachurches. You know, these are the really big churches in our country… some of them with more than 10,000 weekly attendees.

One thing I’ve noticed is that Christians have a fascination with these places. Willow Creek, Saddleback, North Point,  Lakewood, etc. It seems as though everyone has an opinion about successful churches. I think we can shorten these responses to 3 categories:

  1. Ignore completely.  Nothing interesting to look at or think about.
  2. Accuse of wrong-doing. To be that successful they must have made a deal with the devil like the old movie Crossroads.
  3. Principlize all that they do.  To get results like they do, we have to make principles out of all that they do.

What do you think? Are there more responses to this that I’m missing?
