Can we also stop talking about 80% of our local church pastors by using a diminutive? They are not less-than, worse-than, or the like. No one wants to talk about the problems in the local church if we're already telling them their mere existence is already a problem (since bigger = better in America).
I say, "aye!" I was actually thinking about making a point related to this in my next post--about the negative effects of the mere existence of mega-pastors and how everyone ends up living their shadow.
Okay I know the whole money dispropriation thing is a big issue but let me say this, if the sneakers bring the young people to the altar then let the pastors wear the sneakers and bring the word. I mean isn't that their job to put the word out in the world? I mean America loves big shiny and over the top. Why not give them a pastor that speaks to that, perhaps more people will listen, especially this generation who almost can't see anything if it isn't digital, but OMG those sneakers did you see them!? Also, what about the it doesn't matter how you get there or who takes you there as long as you wind up in the right place? Okay those are just a few of my first thoughts. I did find it rather interesting that you mentioned a negative impact on 80% of the church. By the church do you mean 80% negative impact on all churches in america? I'd like to see the reference to that one! Okay no hard feelings just sharing thoughts, can't wait to hear more!
