The appearance of blessing on the surface may obscure the fact that [megachurch] churches are frenetic, showy places with lots of bells and whistles, filled with people who are not all that committed to Christ, but who have become addicted to stimulation and entertainment in their spiritual walk. They want to experience Christ’s presence but only if it comes wrapped in an exciting package.
