A packed church doesn't meant a lot of people, it could mean a small building.

The last I heard the church in Durham has approximately 1200 on a Sunday morning. If that is a speck of dirt then are you perhaps attending a church that is a dust mite?

You mean a speck of dirt compared to...the planet? That is probably the only reasonable comparison.

Consider the average size of the UPC or any other church in context with your statement and we can see you probably have some sort of stigma with or about JG...

That's considerably less than 1/10 of the population of Durham.

1200 people ain't nothing compared to what God has done and will do again.

Lots...and I would bet most cities that are larger than Durham, and have a church of less than 1/10 of the population, in fact for some the entire district has fewer people than 1/10 of the city's population.

Your comparison is no less ridiculous.

Have your personal evangelism and calling yielded more than 1/10 of the population of the city you live in?

What's not to like about a guy who paid for new multi-million dollar building with kids from a bus ministry?
