Do Mega-Churches throw bigger rocks...?



'Fear of the Lord' and 'faith' are synonyms in the Word of God.

Fear of the Lord (not man).

When you have it -- the world marks you; and you are not of the world.

Why didn't Stephen run to a church? Maybe a 'mega'-church? They'd have stoned him there too. The world is the world. Where man congregates in the fear (and reverence) of man, that is the world. Stephen died: "calling upon God, and saying, Lord Jesus, receive my spirit." The church christians were scattered to the tall grass. They re-'congregated' and made up some new rules about how best to not 'upset' those who would throw rocks on them...they even threw out some 'suspect' individuals who they discerned had a little too much regard for the Word of God. I.e., they actually 'bought into it.' They were a danger to the safety of the 'group.'
