Megachurches water down the faith.
The megachurch has no depth, in most cases,
theologically speaking, and has no appeal for any
commitment. It's a church being organized on
corporate logic. That can be quite dangerous if
we are not very careful, because this may become
a Christianity which I describe as two miles
long and one inch deep.
