Thu, 15 Feb 2007 20:55:27 +0000 http://garybrinn.com/2007/02/14/eschatology-and-the-household/#comment-23 Whenever I think of the charismatic leaders of megachurches my mind immediately jumps to sociological theses. The overtly morally crooked climb that ladder to get rich and powerful. Others seem to be fulfilling a niche with good intentions even if I personally find them lacking in substance and garish in style. I'm not sure if it's the result of an abstraction of Jesus so much as it's the lack of any coherent theology at all. Telling people what they want to hear all the time isn't theology, after all, it's just good business.
