1. Wow I did not know that Northpoint had that many attendees. Andy Stanley always gives a great message.

2. You omitted The Potters House in Dallas, Texas where Bishop TD Jakes is the Pastor. Also, you did not mention New Birth Baptist in Lithonia, Georgia where Bishop Eddie L. Long is Pastor. These two churches have a weekly attendance of at least 20,000 or more congregants each.

3. Kelly, didn’t you notice they only listed Seeker Sensative Churches, or should I say (Upper Middle Class- White Yuppie -Sensative Churches” Give me a preacher or an ear tickling teacher anyday.

4. Wow those are some huge churches. I’ve been to Willow Creek before and am not surprised to see it on this list. I was so taken back by the scale of the church and what it has to offer. They have such an incredible church multimedia setup, not to mention the people that work at the church. Going to any church as large as these is an amazing experience; I loved meeting so many kind people.

5. I ask anyone who reads this to please pray for my Wife Shelley! She has left me and I do not know where she is. I noticed a bad change in her and caught her in so many lies. I believe people in her family have been trying to tell her to leave me. We had some bad money issues and I know the devil was trying to destroy our marriage. There is even the possibility that she has committed adultery. Please Please pray that God will intervene and correct her ways and deliver her from this demonic hold of lies and manipulation that has control over her life. I love her and I forgive her!! I hope she will forgive me for mean things I have said as well but she needs a radical change I don’t think she even really knows God the way she should she has drifted away!! Please pray for her Salvation and for her to accept God in her life in a way she never knew possible and for the devil to release his evil hold on her and for her to realize how much I love her and for God to change her heart so she will come back to me and realize its not over we can make this work through GOD!! and come home and Please pray for God to make things new to renew our marriage and lives. Thank you and May God so bless those who read and pray for Shelley My wife and our marriage!! God bless!!

6. like to be one you. and also will like to experience us.and also like to be a citizen,try to be my messiah.by giving me helping hands

7. you all should still remember me and try as much as possible to offer the help to me i will be great full to you, thanks. mobile number +2348130327701

8. I ask that you please pray for my husband Brian as he is not mentally right. He has falling far from god and i hope he can find him again. he did not take care of me at all then he left ME and has a no contact order on him because he viloted his probation. he was on probation because he fracured my noise and popped blood vessels in my eyes i ask that you pay for him because shurly a man who knows god isn’t this mentially unstadle i believe it is because he follows what his mother and family tell him how to live when all of us who know god know you live by god’s word not by other peoples

9. Shelley you do need prayer and you did leave him he did not leave you so you lied on this site to everyone. It says in Gods word to honor your mother and father and if you would obey anything of Gods word you would not be in the mess you are in now.If the people who run this site and other people you tell your sad story too would know the TRUTH! They would be praying for you without a doubt they would be praying for you and your family. Believe what you want to believe but im sure since you know Gods word so well. You know what the book of Hebrews says about marriage. Have a great day and God bless :)

10. I would like to say that Brian Rodelli is a fantastic man and attends the church I go to at Calvery Chapel Worship Center. He is a published author and is reciveing credits towards Theology to become an minister. This man has been through alot and many things have been trying to keep his calling from God includeing a Jezebel spirt. unfortunately he is going through a divorce and has decided to press foward with it due to unfaithfulness. If true christians could pray for him he would apprecite it Here is a link to an awesome prayer site where you can learn more about this mans situation. God bless us christians.

11. ARE YOU GOING TO HEAVEN???Are you right with the Lord? Are you going to Heaven? If you say to yourself yes I am going to heaven How sure are you? You might just be fooling yourself!! Jesus says in Matthew 7;21Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. Are you walking in the will of God? Are you staying away from doing wrong? Are you helping others in need? Are you forgiving others when they hurt you? Are you showing your love to all? Jesus also says in Matthew 7:22-23 Many will say to me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and in your name drive out demons and perform many miracles?23 Then I will plainly say to them I never knew you. Away from me you evli doers’ Have you performed any miracles in the name of Jesus? Have you cast out any demons? Imagine how these people who could do things with such power from God still Not go to Heaven?? Its because of living in Sin and backsliding.. God is not pleased with those who backslide and just might as well cast them to Hell. Do you lie? Cheat? Steal? Commit Adultery? Can you hold any of the ten commandments?? You are condemned to hell if you do not REPENT!! Repent means to turn away. Through your salvation and the blood of Jesus you have a chance to enter into heaven not a guarantee. People who think their saved but still live in sin believe just because they believe in Jesus Christ they have a badge to sin. Guesss what people even the devil himself believes in Jesus Christ. Do you honestly think God is going to fill his Kingdom with people who enjoy their sinful nature or not even really make an effort to do what is right or serve and worship him? Some would say ‘’ Well God is love so I guess I am going to go to heaven no matter what”” That’s right God is love and HE LOVES THOSE WHO ARE HIS AND WILL PROTECT THOSE WHO ARE HIS BY SEPERATEING THE ONES WHO ARE NOT HIS. They have a place called HELL. You are only Guaranteed if you live a life away from sin and in the will of God to enter Heaven. Now you might sin but it’s a rare occasion. The difference of a sinner and one who sins is true Christianity. Remember and take it to heart FOR IT IS WRITTEN!! 1Corinthians 6: 9-11
    Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be decieived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor Homosexual offenders nor sodomites 10 nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God. Do not believe what the world tells you because Sin is in the world and the world is full of liars and satan is the god of this world and has been a liar from the beginning. Remember If you choose to live by what the world says and take it to heart FOR IT IS WRITTEN!! John 8:44 You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father’s desire. He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies. Remember that God loves you and wants what is best for you. He wants you to share in his blessings and yes even his divine power for those that go the distance with him. God does not want one to perish but for all to join in the kingdom of heaven. Ask yourself are you right with God? Do you not see the middleast turmoil? Do you not see Gas prices going to 5 dollars a gallon in the next year?? Do you not see the fall of America?? Jesus says when you see the clouds coming in you know a storm is coming because of the signs. Look at the signs!! We are about to enter world war How is your sinful life going to save you when there is food shortages? How is your sinful life going to save you when you loose your job? How is a sinful life going to save you when all your money goes to gas and barely living expenses? Trust in God and He will provide turn to Him and he will shelter, run to him and He will protect you. I hope everyone will accept Jesus into their hearts and commit a personal relationship with him and become water baptized. The times are right the world is becoming worse and worse it says in Romans what is considered right will be considered wrong and what is considered wrong will be considered right in the end. We see this with the way people live sex before marriage divorce and adultery rates through the roof!! People lie to get their way. People think its better to hurt someone than to say they are sorry. Prostitution and pornography is glorified!! In this nation and we wonder why its going down the drain!! Some of you that aren’t saved are going to laugh at this or not understand how important this is.. Understand that Jesus Christ is Not only God he is a King. He has control over your soul in the end. Its best to do what the king says. I ask everyone who reads this to please get to know Jesus if you already know him awesome if you don’t know him get to know him it will be the best decision you have ever made in your life. I promise that. Let me explain how real and evident he can be in your life. I was backslidden for a while. I was living in sin. And I noticed there were no blessings money problems always followed me in that relationship and I had a marriage where my wife turned on me and is now with another man totally against the will of God. that drained me. Well because of our lifestyle God was not present in our life. Ever since I Repented and turned away from my sins and now do what is right. I have received a more powerful prayer life. Spiritual gifting including Healing tongues dreams and prophecy I have 2 jobs and Received all new things even a new awesome SUV sweet ride. Its more than what I have asked for from God .God is really a Good God. If you compare the man I was a year ago to the man I am now you would know Yes God can change a person dramatically. I live under Kingship. I am currently back in school in Theology to become a minister and I am writing a new book. I have an awesome family in my home church where I have over 3000 brothers and sisters in Christ. God is Good and He is well pleased with me because I now Obey what his word says. If your reading this and your wondering about why is that a lot of Christians have a great life and never have a lot of problems. If your wondering what we have that you don’t It’s the Holy Spirit that lives in us. Do you honestly think God is a liar? Listen to him and start to do what is right. Ask him into your heart. Repeat this prayer say this outloud to yourself and believe in Him. and you will start to see a change then get pluged into a real church that has evidence of miracles.
    REPEAT TO YOURSELF OUTLOUD AND BELIEVE– (((( Dear Heavenly Father, Father I want to say I am sorry for all my sins. Please Father forgive me. I believe your Son Jesus Christ died on the cross for my sins. Jesus Christ My Lord and God, Please Come into my heart and make me a new creation. Please God transform me and wash away my sins through your blood I believe in you Jesus. I ask for your Holy Spirit to come upon me and I invite Your Holy Spirit into my heart to live forever in me and show me how to live. I Thank you Lord God. Father Thank you sending your son Jesus Christ to die for me. Thank you Lord for now I know I will live forever with you. In Jesus Christ name I pray. Amen and Amen. ))))

    Congratulations.
    Now get plugged into a church and stay in his word and Obey what he says.
    Do what is Right. Have morals. God bless everyone.

12. Thanks Becky but its ok. I just want shelley to be happy. If she is with someone else im happy for her. I wish I could let her know that I do love her and she is in my prayers. I just want her to be happy. Many mean things were said and hurtful things have been done. But forgiveness is powerful. May God bless her and grant her peace.Im glad this is ending in peace. After this is all over she is more than welcome to come to my church.

13. People that live by the world die with the world. people that live in the moment to satisfy there flesh will only have temporary satisfaction but a wise person takes thoughts to their steps and determines there long future. Im happy that evil has been purged from my life and that I can move forward. I tell you what is scary friends. Is one who belives their own lies. they are called a pshycopath or lunatic. another term of a constant liar is lunatic and the word lunar is in it. Lunar meaning moon and the Hebrew meaning for moon is lucifer. Yes the devil himself. God knows who are his and the devil knows who are his as well. Its a shame that the ones who belong to the devil are under under a lie and wonder why they have misery and confusion and unstableness and no foundation. whats even worse is they even perverte the word of God and say God tells us to be frutiful so they think that God didnt design being fruitful in bounds of marriage. They have no meaning of true love and what a marriage covenant is all about. I pray for such lost souls that they will repent and stop the evil they commit and come to God and Obey his word. Then all the mess and problems will start to leave their life and they will gain victory within their hearts. — A word from Pastor Brian.

14. Please pray for me christian brother and sisters. seems like another wave of attacks from the enemy is comming. Jezebel has not let up and her lies continue to flow from her tongue as flies from maggots. This reminds me of a psalm The Lord is with me.

    For the director of music. A psalm of David.
    1 Hear me, my God, as I voice my complaint;
    protect my life from the threat of the enemy.

    2 Hide me from the conspiracy of the wicked,
    from the plots of evildoers.
    3 They sharpen their tongues like swords
    and aim cruel words like deadly arrows.
    4 They shoot from ambush at the innocent;
    they shoot suddenly, without fear.

    5 They encourage each other in evil plans,
    they talk about hiding their snares;
    they say, “Who will see it[b]?”
    6 They plot injustice and say,
    “We have devised a perfect plan!”
    Surely the human mind and heart are cunning.

    7 But God will shoot them with his arrows;
    they will suddenly be struck down.
    8 He will turn their own tongues against them
    and bring them to ruin;
    all who see them will shake their heads in scorn.
    9 All people will fear;
    they will proclaim the works of God
    and ponder what he has done.

    10 The righteous will rejoice in the LORD
    and take refuge in him;
    all the upright in heart will glory in him!

15. I suppose this is my favorite song through this situation I am faceing.I will fear NO evil For my God is with me. Forever I will praise my God. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A9Ya7ryNob4

16. I highly doubt that any legitimate pastor would not know how inappropriate it is to be airing his issues and his wife’s issues over the internet. You both need to get into a prayer closet (separately) and make your peace with God and stop using this forum this way.

    As far as the mega churches – if all the people in the US who thought they were Christians, really were – this would be a totally different country. Those who know better than what these seeker-sensitive churches are trying to tell people, those who are truly mature Christians, need to be speaking up to the people you love involved in these churches and showing them Scripture that goes against what these pastors teach. There is all sorts of biblical grounds for fearing false teachers and false teachers do not tell 100% lies. Nobody would listen to them if they did, but if they are not preaching the true Gospel – then what you are accepting is NOT saving you!!

    The best (and only) way to know for sure is to read your own Bible and when there is a discrepancy – run from that church! YOU are responsible for what you deem as truth – you will not escape judgment by blaming it on a pastor.

    For those who are scoffing right now at what legitimate churches call the Gospel, just remember:

    1 Corinthians 1:18

    For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.

17. Jesus Christ is the Same Yesterday,Today and for ever!!!!.God may bless United States Of America.

18. Robin, I personally attend one of these mega churches and I can tell you that it doesn’t matter if it’s a mega church or a small 100 member church, there are people who think they are Christians in both. I find it foolish of you to judge these churches based on what you think. Of course in any church big or small, you are going to find people who are not the real thing. But it is no reason to bash a church that has a high volume of membership. You have no idea what goes on in every pulpit across the world so I don’t see where you have a right to judge any church for what they may or may not say. My pastor teaches the truth and nothing but the truth, and ANY one who takes what any other person says and does not research it for themselves is ignorant to the Bible, regardless of the size of the church in which that person attends.I would suggest maybe you attend one of these churches and see for yourself if they are preaching God’s word. Maybe God will soften your heart toward this issue. You judging just causes anger and dissention among the believers.

19. Robin, Well this young man Brian has been through alot with this woman. He has been through alot of hurt and many know what he has gone through. There is people that certainly need prayer not only that but you as a christian know its sometimes spiritual warfare. Brian is reciveing credits to become a pastor and he will be a great one at that. but some of your wisdom will be good to know when he matures as a fully grown pastor. Just as iron sharpens iron so does one man sharpen another. Remember to always do it in love. and as far as his X wife goes. Luke 8:17 fits her well and people do need to be aware of her. Luke8:17For there is nothing hidden that will not be disclosed, and nothing concealed that will not be known or brought out into the open. Bottom line He made mistakes she made mistakes. He is willing to forgive. She is not willing to forgive. We can only hope she will one day come to the Lord.

20. Thanks Robin for the advice. Praise the Lord.

    God is soooo good to me because I follow him and I love him and I do what he says in his command. I have just enrolled in my new fall classes for Theology and I talked to my Pastor and he came to me and told me that God has laid me on his heart to move up in the ministry and If I keep going forward in my schooling I will be put on Salary working in the church before I get my bachelors degree. Haleluja praise God. I have even been asked to perform my first Water baptism with him. I have recived another Job making about 10 dollars an hour while I still have my other my income is very good now and will be better shortly when I get SALARY im so excited!! and Here is a picture of the Car that the Lord gave me through answered prayers. I know soon He will provide a new Home through members of the church Yes my own beatuiful home. Its beautiful and is perfect for a future family. Same year and color as shown in the picture in perfect condition with leather seats ooo God is good. I have a big screen TV huge and beautiful brand spanking new bedroom set I am making payments on. I am receiving health insurance and dental insurance through the company I am working for. You see sometimes it takes a couple of years for the Lord to do his blessings and boy its been a great new year. To the lord its like saying Vows to keep your promise to eachother. Through rich and through poor sickness and in health to death do we part.

    I love the Lord. The Lord keeps his vows because He does not lie and married is a big deal  and now what some say is Karma is the Lords blessings. I am adopted into the Lords family because I was almost about to adopt two children of my own but someone in the end showed there true colors I was so close to telling them I was ready to adopt. But the Lord allowed them to backstab me to show there heart. I wanted to move to Arizona and all I guess God was looking out for me. I know God is sending the right person to be in my life one day. Someone that doesn’t bail on you when money or situations get tough or backstab. After you tell them you love them. Someone who will go through counseling and do what it takes to show love again. God is good. Thank you for everyone who has been praying for me. Prayers have been answered. CCWC is the greatest church to me. It is my home. Even though I had multiple bruises and a blown out eardrum. I still forgive. And been lied to countless times. I still forgive and I still love. I love the Lord he is good. Thank you all and God bless.

21. I would like to ask people to pray for blessings upon Mr Jack. He is a very wealthy and blessed man who has provided the almost new condition Beautiful Family SUV for me and its a 4×4. Its not the best on gas because it has a very powerful V8 Chevy engine that has no problem towing my brothers boat when we go shark fishing. for a 2001 model it has low miles but for a price tag new of $41,000 I would without a doubt be a fool to complain lol It is far more than I expected much more.. My last two vehicles were destroyed by someone first one the engine blew up and the second one was stolen while I was married We had a mazda 626 but it was dangerous to drive because someone drove it into the ground with a dangerously bad ball joint and a busted out windshield way too dangerous for driving two children around. somehow I was to blame for that vehicle. God has a way of repaying as He says. This blessed wealthy man just gave me the vehicle as a gift from the Lord and in the near future when I plan to open my church I would accept donations from him and any others willing to build. Probably would need to raise at least a million dollars to get the project in motion and ready to start building but hey God will provide :D Faith tells me so and so does answered prayers. It will be a non denominational church with all types of people welcome with all types of background. Everything from past mental problems, past drug addicts, past Domestic abuse, past child abuse, and people that are already living in Gods blessings to receive healing. The Lord and I plan to have a large diverse crowd of people with no judgment cast on others. But we expect to see deliverance from sin and into a fruitful life that God promises to those who submit to his will. Thanks for the prayers and support I will continue to show progress of my degree and building plans and name for the church. I will be also writeing a new book you can look up my book its called Hebrews Prayers of course instead of a music career The Lord has changed my direction with a more realistic career in ministry. People will witness the evidence of the power of the Holy spirit . God bless.

25. Dear Writers,
    I am so sad to see that you people out there discuss about the God and heaven and hell without definite knowlegde. For those eyes to see and for those hearts to listen, here are my words; Jesus Christ (Ä°sa as) is just one of the 124.000 prophets that the Only Single Unique ALLAH sent on earth for giving the repeated divine messages. You do know better than me that The Original Bible has been modified and changed for the will an interest of some humans. Jesus (Ä°sa as) was also a harbinger of the Last Prophet Hz. MUHAMMED (sav). By His honourable arrival 1400 years ago, the last religion that ALLAH cc accept in hereafter has been ISLAM, repealing all the previous religions. Now I am kindly inviting you people to make a research about KOR’AN in which you will find the only reality Hz Muhammed (sav) is your prophet too so before you lose the chance answer his call and try to understand his message then you will be my brothers even tho I have never seen you… Have a nice evening..

26. I did notice that the picture for Woodlands Church is actually Thomas Road Baptist Church in Lynchburg, VA.

27. What about the Mormons gernal conference that’s big too in salt lake. I don’t how big maybe couple thousand. They’re the fourth largest. Church in us 14.5 million I think

28. i need finacial help. i am senior citizen my age is 65. thanks

29. The Mormon Conference Center in Salt Lake City seats 21,000 in the main congregation, 360 in the Choir section, and about 100 in the General Authority section. There is also a theater in an offshoot of the building which seats apx. 1,000. Twice each year, the first weekend in April and October, the Mormon Church convenes in a “General Conference” wherein church members are instructed by their General Authorities. The conference consists of 6 two hour long sessions which are broadcast throughout the world via satalite and the internet. The church itself consists of over 14M worldwide but about half that in the U.S.

30. I Know Prayer Is Powerful: On Feb 17th of 2013 I turned my heart over to the Lord and was baptised. Everything from there has went down hill. I lost my good job about 6 weeks ago and I can’t get a job except for odd jobs. It’s a total financial strain and the bills keep comming in and piling up. It also putting a huge wedge in my family life also. My motherin law is very ill and in the hospital. They can’t figure out whats wrong with her. I’m not letting this take away from my faith and I’m not on here asking for a handout. I JUST NEED YOUR PRAYERS!! Thank you an GOD BLESS!!!
