Saturday Silliness: How to Tell if You're a Megachurch

Carlos Whitaker at Ragamuffin Soul, a definite insider on this issue, nails it with this checklist:

• You might be a megachurch is your green room looks nicer that 95% of your attendees living rooms.

• You might be a megachurch if you film sermon video illustrations on location in other countries.

• You might be a megachurch if people take celebrity pictures of the pastor during his sermon.

• You might be a megachurch if you have more people on staff to run a Sunday than American Idol has on staff to run a Wednesday.

• You might be a megachurch if kids throw a tantrum when the moving lights aren’t working in their Sunday School.

• You might be a megachurch if your pastor has had more work done than most of the women in your church.

• You might be a megachurch if your worship department has not one single ugly person in it.

• You might be a megachurch if your pastors security detail mimics the Secret Service.

• You might be a megachurch if there are more police officers directing traffic into your parking lot than manning the streets of your neighborhood on a Sunday morning.
