Despite the tough economy, many of the nation’s largest churches are thriving, with increased offerings and plans to hire more staff, a new survey shows. Just 3 percent of churches with 2,000 or more attendance surveyed by Leadership Network, a Dallas-based church think tank, said they were affected “very negatively” by the economy in recent years. Close to half--47 percent--said they were affected “somewhat negatively,” but one-third said they were not affected at all.
No doubt these mega-churches are doing well…the “contemplative” and naval gazing “spirituality” being pushed insures the support of those wanting to undermine true faith in both the Jesus of the Gospels and of the sacraments…in fact the Incarnate Word who became flesh.
Any big success in our time is very suspicious, from Fb to new age “spirituality” infesting popular churches and celebrity preachers.
