Default "Gigachurch" news article
I had never heard the term "gigachurch" used to refer to ones larger than megachurches, but the term makes sense. Here is a link to a news article about these types of churches: What makes a 'gigachurch' go? -- themorningcall.com. There are a couple of interesting points, and I leave them to your judgment as to whether they are good or bad (I have my ideas on them):

1. The article is in the entertainment section of the paper.
2. The article describes how the pastor rehearses his message all day so that he sounds conversational and that people will enjoy his seemingly off-the-cuff (but rehearsed) comments.

Of course there is the usual praise (aka rock) band and the lack of a firm Biblical church name, but such is no surprise.

There are just so many things wrong there that it is mind boggling!

Wow, that's all I can say.

My thoughts exactly about so much being wrong, but so many people love these types of "churches."
