A crystallized church which embraces a charismatic pastor may grow and prosper as can easily be seen and defined by the world view of success. But, Once the charismatic pastor retires or dies. The truth shall be revealed as no church cannot stand upon the foundations of any mortal man. The fall of the worldly and wealthy church shall become publicly evident.
C.J.MacKechnie
==================This is a warning for the other Mega Churches of the world. As your lead pastor ages and then seeks retirement or dies. What will be the condition of your debt load once He or she is gone. Because, I do know of a former pastor of a Mega church and he retired in his fifties. He now resides within an exclusive gated community. Enjoying life. How did the pastors of old retire. Usually upon death. My Grandfather in law was a church planter in the days when the Methodist Church was not a fallen church. He was completely dependent upon the Methodist Church. He died with no worldly wealth as do we all. He was often paid in chickens and he did not like chicken but was always thankful.
If your Mega Church does not teach repentance, righteousness, holiness or sin. If your Mega Church is accepting, celebrating and tolerating of any sin. Then your most likely a world church who teaches a variety of false teachings. You each, who are involved with mega Churches and fallen churches are very much at risk hearing God tell you that He never knew you.

Added on 19 March 2018:
It would be better for the mega churches to fracture into millions of smaller churches of repentance who all have personal relationships with their Heavenly Father and each other (Especially with the pastor) and who actually go out into the world expressing love to all. Because all Christians are missionaries even into their own communities. All Christians are supposed to go forth into the world to cause no harm and to sin no more. All Christians are supposed to repent of every sin in their body, mind, heart and spirit. All Christians are supposed to become righteous and holy in the accepting eyes of their Heavenly Father only. All without any pride, ego, arrogance, supremacy and entitlements. Especially entitlements because what did Jesus give up to be here with us human worms and maggots? Really what is Jesus entitled to and what did Jesus receive? In the early church how did Christians end their lives? With any kind of prosperity or with horrible death?
==============
To avert all of the coming bad and sad prophecies. We each must decide to do the following everyday, every hour, every minute and every second.
To Love one another.
To live in peace with everyone.
To exist in harmony with all.
To Cherish all life.
To be obedient to the Laws of God.
To become righteous and holy by the accepting eyes of God only.
All without any pride, ego, arrogance, supremacy and entitlements.==============
