This has been a discussion point for some in our church already. Interesting thoughts and I personally like the direction this writer took this piece. I am in agreement for the most part on many of the points he makes for this post. Collin Hansen also notes an USA TODAY article in his post that you should check out as well.
The Hansen Report: Valuing Visitation | Out of Ur | Conversations for Ministry Leaders
I do agree that more needs to be said on this topic and that there are some things that Collin left out or just bated the reader into thinking on, but I do think that it is not about mega as better, but about are we still effectively resembling a body that is fit to bring people into a relationship with Christ and into a growing identity with Him?
Christ is the focus and we simply come with abilities and gifts that God wants to add to this local body to make it effective in demonstrating the power of God's love and grace, and to show forth the change Christ is able to make in our individual lives as we work together for Him.
