Megachurches: Striking Resemblance to Second Great Awakening?

Evangelical megachurches have grown to fit a stereotype. A young pastor with trendy clothing, a cheerful welcome team with name badges, a large and vigorous youth program, an expansive worship band with the latest production tools, and a dark auditorium with haze and colored lights. According to many of these churches, such atmospheric choices are intended to appeal to young people. There is, of course, nothing wrong with trying to bring young people to Christ. Matthew 28:18-20 tells followers of Christ to make disciples of all nations and young people should certainly not be neglected.
