I went to Res for over a year, you are just a another face. Your information gets lost. People do not get back to you when they say they will. But what really bothers me is that the pastor(s) all live in very large homes. Just seems to me that the “excess” has better uses, especially when it comes from others tithes.

Incredible, the lens you used to super analyze this haven for faith shames me to have failed you as a Christian. You need to be more accepting of the lord’s path for you. If you let the power of the lord guide you then the interpreter at Res can tell everyone that gathers around you what you’re saying. It’s like being the parent of a babbling baby, the words make sense after hearing them. The only difference is that babies get to point at what they want, have daily or routine rituals that guide the parents and their mimicking abilities are undeveloped. I hope you can embrace the word of god, be blessed.

Yes there are many churches that may be just for profit. Judging them won’t do us any good. People seek what they want and will decide for themselves. If you want to check out a good worship service go to St John Viany (sp) on Clyde park just N of 44th in Wyoming Mi. Ft. Michael Alber ( espec 11:30 mass) always speaks from the heart to the heart about life and what we are here for. He doesn’t ask for $ the bldg is already paid for & its not his. That is one advantage of the catholic church. Even though Rome may profit, this preist has a pure motive & cares about you and your heart. Check it out , I dare you & hay bring a real camera.

Wow… I was searching for information on Res-life. A friend of mine has recently visited there and I have always heard bad things about the church and now I am starting to see why… Thank-you so much for your blog, I appreciate your honesty and I agree with you whole-heartedly as a Christian I might add, that the way this church spends their money is ridiculous! I do not care how much money they have spent on giving to others! Think about how much more they could have given instead of building a church that costs millions of dollars! It disgusts me. Jesus roamed this earth poor, hungry and rejected! He does not call us to use money to further our entertainment and comfort! Thank the Lord He is able to use Res-life to bring people to Him, I know this happens there, however, I do not believe it is Gods will for a church to use there funds in this manner. It is truly grotesque!

Hey bro. I love this. I think every pastor should read this with his leadership staff. You have diagnosed a ton of symptoms to a much larger problem. Perspective. Anyway, though I disagree I can appreciate this blog for what it is, an honest assessment from a real person’s perspective.

Just one more thing and it’s serious…

Do not go to the “vomiting” church. That is a serious problem. You may be an Atheist, but that can be a dangerous environment with some pretty jacked up implications. That is not a Christ-Following church. Seriously don’t go.

First off, ask that pastor how he got his job…Then ask who the founder of the church was and how he got “removed”??? The corporation that controls this church now, took it over while the founder was on vacation, and turned it into this crap. Before you go mouthing off about churches, pagan…Get the history of them and post it…This church used to be legit and good, now it isn’t…Get it?

nogodsallowed, have you been back to res yet? Just wanted to meet you, but I have no clue what you look like?

First off nogodsallowed and wisdomstalker, i love and share your views on these mega churches. To most of the rest of you, im thoroughly disturbed by your lack of compassion. Nogods shared his observations (right or wrong we dont have the right to judge him) and the first few responses listened and responded with thought and compassion and give me hope for future of the church, however most of you have responded with hysteria and virulence. i cant help but see your views as vitriolic. To all of of you im sorry. You are abundantly disheartening. Its hard to see the embodiment of jesus’s greatest commandment in the twelfth chapter of mark (verse 30&31 to those of you who are not familiar with it).

Nogodsallowed and Wisdomstalker keep this up, I hope to hear more from you.

I appreciate your criticism of the church and your willingness to check it out! However, I would like you to consider this: The “church” is not a building. The church is the people. You are right in saying that you did not find God in going to RLC. He doesn’t live there. He lives in the people. Your fundamental error in your analysis of your visit to this church is that you didn’t interact with the people. All of your observations were actually criticisms of the short-comings of the decisions that people make when building a church building or holding a worship service, which does not disprove that there is a God.

The way that I know beyond a shadow of a doubt that God is God and that He is alive and real is through people, not from how great the building looks or the number of TVs. I have visited RLC Grandville and attended their conferences, but I have also been to the poorest of the poor in many nations around the world and many cultures from Asia to Africa. The same heart and love of God pour from the hearts of the richest to the poorest across all socio- economic lines and languages around the world for those who have put their heart and faith in Jesus Christ. I have met, encountered, and shared in experiences with God with those who are as far from me physically, socially, and economically as you can get and because of our common love of Jesus Christ, we had an immediate love for each other and understanding that cannot be understood in human terms. This was true when neither of us could understand a word to each other and there was no interpreter in every culture I have experienced. And NONE of those people had fancy TVs or buildings, but they had the same heart as the people I know at RLC. Again, I say to you, that the church is not a building. It is a people. I challenge you to go to back to Reslife and interact with the people. If you really want to get at the core what those “hitler-esk” people are thinking, interact with them. And try to remember, being a Christ follower does not make one perfect, but it does make one in the pursuit of it.

Hello! We (at Res Life) appreciate the advertisement and publicity you’ve given our church! While I don’t necessarily agree with what you said or your sarcastic tone, I do respect your views. I would have much more respect though for someone who came to our church and was actually connected, then wrote a review of it. It’s almost like me going to your place of employment and watching you for a couple hours work, then writing a review. It wouldn’t be fair. May God bless you today and always!
