I really enjoyed this article by David Schimke in the City Pages,
"The Mall Where You Talk to God."
David is an "outsider looking in" on a mega church in Eden Prairie, Minnesota. When I say I enjoyed it I don't mean that I neccessarily liked or found great pleasure in reading it, but rather that it made me stop and think. Thinking is good I'm told. As we, young ministers, re-evalute (sometimes daily) why we do what we do, we need to be challenged, provoked, questioned. We need to stop and think. God didn't call me to build a church, run a church nor "to make sure the church promotes excellence." I'm pretty sure I was called to love Him and love others. I hope my "church work" is not getting in the way.
