Reason # 434

Yet another reason we here at PRESBYTERIAN THOUGHTS consider ourselves to be Reformed rather than Evangelical:

Mega Church: the video game

I'm thinking about the book of Mark and the stories in which Jesus fed the 5 thousand and 4 thousand groups. I wonder how far some of those people traveled on foot, donkey, etc.
I'm wondering why the need is great to criticize large churches. Is there a foundation in scripture? I'm not sure how you intended to come off with your comment about Reformed vs Evangelical.Is it because you may be called to PERFECT your faith,form of worship, and want to correct others, and thats on your heart?Are you concerned that people will be surprised that they didn't make it to heaven. What is on my heart is that when I get the chance I want to share about My God, My Faith, My Gods Salvation, etc. That Jesus saves is so important.My concern is getting the Word out so that others can begin their journey with Christ. 1John4 vs 17,18,19 NLT "And as we live in God,our love grows more perfect. So we will not be afraid on the day of judgement, but we can face him with confidence because we are like Christ here in this world.Such love has no fear because perfect love expels all fear.......We love eachother as a result of him loving us first."
I'm thinking the size of a church is not what is important.It is the God living in the hearts of the members that is at issue. Also, God is huge as is the world and the many nations he created. Does this make sense?
Loving you as Christ loves his church. Ellie

Sweet fancy moses! Is there a psalm singing option and an option to require women clothe themselves properly with a headcovering?

I have NO PROBLEM with a church that is large or even huge.

My problem is that there is a market for such a rediculous item as a build your own way to worship God, etc. etc.

Restate: No problem with large churches...It would great to see all churches growing in size both physically and spiritually.

It's a joke, folks. A cleverly done one, but a joke nonetheless.

Fun huh?

This is the kind of thing that many evangelical churches are into though. Does it please man or the Lord?

Hrmmm..... I'm thinking I should make such a game and take all of the Mega church-goer's money and make the RPNA a Big church. =D (Big, because we're not gonna flip the mega-button on the sales of some video games)

If the video game that thou talketh about doth not exist, how then can one claim that it is still what these "churches" are striving to accomplish in this life?

This game is obviously a parody based on someone perspective of the reality of evangelicalism's latest fad (except for the emergent church).

I would agree with this parody.

That is how.
