Here’s an interesting slideshow on The Age of the Megachurch. What’s more interesting is the captions. Kinda snotty. Oh, and the site I found the slideshow through qualifies, as well. Here’s a quote:

The leaders of the Church Growth Movement would say that if a church is growing, that’s a sign of God’s hand of approval. But the prosperity and size of false-religions such as the Mormons, ought to cause us to wonder about that.

Weird logic, to say the least.

Growing up in the Lansing area, I wanted nothing more than to get out. My exit strategy included a complex mixture of schemes for an urban church plant, iProducts, and an elaborate Bollywood car chase scene with zombies and catchy techno music.

As a 40 year old man, I find myself entrenched in the Lansing area at a church I love (Riverview), with 4 kids I love more (a high schooler, a junior higher, a middle schooler, and an elementary schooler), and a wife I love the most (Grace).

Instead of planting one church, I dream of helping hundreds get started without ever leaving my home base. I still love my iProducts and use them as tools to help lead and teach the thousands who attend Riverview. And when no one is looking, I blare the techno music and send my unimpressive resume to casting agents for Bollywood zombie films.
