The Rise and Danger of Mega Grace Churches

 I am a proponent of unifying around the absolutes of Scripture while rejecting what so many of the heresy hunters are doing. I don't want to come against legitimate movements, even if there is some error on a lower level, if God is truly anointing them. I don't want to call out people of God simply because they aren't in my stream.

However, I have been so disturbed, for years and years, about the mega-grace churches, ministries and movements. This is different than hyper-grace. I've dealt with hyper-grace which is false, unbiblical grace, as I believe it's clearly heretical. However, there is a rising tide of what I call mega-grace ideologies that are overtaking churches. They put most of their doctrinal eggs in one basket, focusing mostly on the positive. It's the "God is always in a good mood" and "the world is getting better and better" crowd that causes the grief in my spirit.

It would be very difficult for me to accept a ministry invitation to one of these churches. I just can't shake the alarms sounding within.

The problem? Much good comes from some of these ministries. Powerful truths, worship and impact can be found there. Is that enough for me to wholeheartedly endorse them? No. Is the danger I sense enough to renounce them? No. So, here I remain, in the valley of disturbance, waiting on God to give me revelation on how or if to deal more directly with it. That may come soon or never. But let it be known that I sense something is off, and those under the influence of these ministries should use great wisdom and discernment while also being life-giving and honoring.
