		<description>Is the thought that it&#039;s like Wal-Mart (the Mega Church) putting all the local mom &amp; pop (small churches) out of business? 
I see some of that but don&#039;t think it&#039;s a pattern nation-wide. Mega Churches sure are figuring out systems that work.  I know for our currently small but growing church, we are tightening up our systems while trying to build an atomosphere where meaningful relationships can flourish &amp; we can live on mission together - &amp; that means bringing the Kingdom everywhere we live &amp; go... reversing the works of darkness.</description>

		<description>Hi, my name is Ryan, I wanted to know where i could find (online) an older song from Joel, back when he was in &quot;Six days.&quot;  The song went something like &quot;sinking like a stone.&quot; or the like... This song was a hit a good 7 years ago! 

thanks,</description>

		<description>Oh I&#039;m right there with you. But with regards to the Newsweek article (as well as statistics that I see in regards to denominational growth) they show that the number of &quot;those attending church&quot; is shrinking. So while our church may be growing, the Church is indeed shrinking (if you accept the statistics.)

I saw something over at Los&#039; Ragamuffin Soul blog a while back talking about the same thing. I&#039;m not sure if it&#039;s manipulation or not but something to step back and take a look at to see what&#039;s happening in our community, our neighboring community, our city in regards to the Church. What are we doing to help her grow and not just our 4 walls?</description>

		<description>I think that regardless of mega or smaller local community there are people who are hurting and need to feel the love of God. If your church, regardless of sizes, ministers to the needs of your city and creates a place where people can feel loved, you can grow. Warrens church is an example. Yesterday while on vacation I went to a church that averages 150 a week. They have a heart to change their community and since starting to put some programs in place over the last 9 months have grown. 

Its all about peoples needs, and loving them REGARDLESS. 

Just my 2 cents.</description>

		<description>Hmm...I&#039;m seeing this pop up in various places. It&#039;s a curious thing because sure Rick Warren&#039;s church may be growing like crazy but is that because more people are coming to Christ and attending church or are they disgruntled Christians from 1st Church on the corner across the street? Are we seeing growth or churning? There&#039;s no doubt that &quot;mega churches&quot; are on the rise but what does that mean for the smaller local church? 
I don&#039;t have the answer, I&#039;m just regurgitating some of the questions we&#039;ve been wrestling with.</description>
