Bible Note: Thanks, T'oma. That certainly gives me a much clearer understanding of mega "cell" churches, and a better perspective, than I had before. I guess a lot of people including me have a tendency to think of huge churches as cold and impersonal, a place to get lost (physically, not spiritually) in. I'm delighted that you have largely dispelled that illusion. ...... I've also wondered why some little churches tend to stay little. I'm sure there are various reasons, but could one of them be because, in some of them at least, their members treat it more as a cozy little club than an evangelizing church? --Hank |
