The study of the Bible makes a wonderful sounding session to allow for the therapeutic relief of pent up emotions. If these young humanistic converts will avail themselves of all the sociological and psychological help they should be better and more dependent on the whole process week after week. Just a little investigation will quickly reveal that the back doors of these new and often mega centers are just a bit smaller than the front doors. Crowds are flooding through the doors and from center to center and, often, to nowhere. It is not even kin to the great revivals where men and women were gloriously transformed to the kingdom of God.
Psychology is the most deceiving of all ideas to be integrated into church life.
Man has a natural fallen tendency to want to attend to His spiritual needs by his own worth and wisdom. It has been a fallacy plaguing the true church at every turn of history. Bringing this idea into the heart of a religious movement as represented in the mega church paradigm was bound to be temporarily successful by large numbers. It cannot and will not stand the test of time. These new paradigm centers must have their individual gurus.
