Who gives you your feedbacks

Dear Apostle MegaSleek

Greetings in the name of the Lord!

I write to share with you good reports about how our church has been transformed!

We are so impacted by your message on "Pimp Your Church" with the latest revelation on 7 steps to church growth.
In fact after applying the principles, we are able to position the church in the most relevant way to the unchurched.

We have purchased the most advanced sound system and video equipment.
We have hired the best looking and skillful musicians to be on the worship team.
We are releasing the most cutting edge music albums every year.
We have planned the best church conferences with the hottest line up of speakers.
We are launching the most sophisticated projects that is unheard of in this century, even the media is hot on our movement.

Of course with the latest implementation comes much resistance from the older members, especially those with us from the beginning, just as you have warned us. However like you say, change is necessary and not to change is destructive. We have to let them go and maybe that is for the better as we keep the unity of the vision.

One of the oldest member happened to give us the most problems. Firstly, he insisted that we are ignoring him and not paying him much attention. I had to remind him that church is not all about him. He complained that church worship has become a show and is no longer ministering to him. Once again, i tell him not to be so self-centered but to be more vision-minded. He then questioned why we have removed the cross from the pulpit and message, I told him that his likings are too traditional and old school. He feedback that all the conferences and projects are not helping people at all and the church need him. How ridiculous and arrogant can that be just because he was an old-timer! I had to tell him off and reminded him again that church can't be all about him and certainly no one is indispensable! I guess he didn't take that well and with much sadness he finally left.

However, apart from that, all is going smoothly and more people are joining us and things are looking great! We look forward to you coming to share more revelation with us. Oh, before I forget, the old-timer guy who left may be going to other churches and if you happen to see him, just take note of what i have said. By the way, his name is Jesus.. if I didn't remember wrongly...

May you be greatly blessed!
