The response of the woman says more about the church's "pastoring" than it's worshp. We live in a world now where kids at my wife's school (11 - 18) will actually ask questions like "What on earth has Jesus got to do with Christmas?". The fact that people are turning up and listening to God-inspired lyrics will at least go some way to encouraging the "asking, seeking, knocking" that we surely want all mankind to do? For the record, I come from a tiny parish church and we are just attempting to provide more contemporary worship. We are struggling with people coming along who "just for the music" but in time I hope and pray that the fact they are turning up will lead to a deeper knowledge. Mega-churches (and all others) need to back up whatever style of worship they have with authentic teaching and "discpiling" of it's members.

I agree with doolz, and a few others, we should work together to bring the message of Jesus to the world. What good is it for us to criticize one another. And just because you're not a mega-church, doesn't mean you're exempt from this kind of thing happening.

Just because someone else worships different from you isn't an invite for insault. This is some deep waters you're getting yourself into. I don't concentrate on the genre. I focus on God. And isn't it better that unbelievers go to a chuch and have this fed into their subconscious rather then avoid church altogether? It's better then all the music about sex, drugs and such on the secular radio stations. I'm not good at this whole Christanity thing but it's a bit twisted when you get enjoyment out of getting Christians to fight with eachother.

Great idea. Great message. Great artwork. I'm glad you won't shy away from spreading the TRUTH no matter what. And spreading laughter while at it? God bless you sir. Hey Matt!

A mega church will grow and still growing is mean that they r fruitful. Bible say in John 15:4: Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in Me. So if a Church lost the foundation and the heart of worship, they surely will not grow. I dun really agree mega churches r behaving in this way.
