Rising Hegemon
Faced with mounting debts and decreasing donations, the Crystal Cathedral announced today it was filing for bankruptcy protection...
We've always believed in a big God … a God Who is greater than any problem or challenge we could ever face."
[Church Sheila Schuller Coleman] said the bankruptcy declaration "is just one more chapter in the book that He is continuing to write -- and we know that God's plans are good -- we have no doubt His chapter will be good!"
Yes, I believe that God is calling it "Chapter 11".
If I was Pat Robertson, I would undoubtedly declare this God's judgment on something...something crazy no doubt. But I'm a mere cynic.
...maybe they can turn it into a Mosque?

Robert Schuller's shtick at the Crystal Cathedral was, for a long time, a sort of nebulously-defined prosperity gospel.
Which makes its bankruptcy all the more ironic....
Time’s up for the Hour of Power. “Be an Up Person in an Upside-Down World” just doesn’t appeal to modern Talibangelical Christians. They need more (wait for it…) ULULALIA!
"Chapter 11". Priceless, Atta, just priceless.
I guess it's true. People living in glass houses shouldn't throw stones, eh?
One of Schuller's signature lines, indeed the title of one of his books, is
Tough times never last, but tough people do.
I guess it's time for another test of it.
Too bad they're in southern California or they could have converted the place into an indoor water park. Rides like "The Holy Water Slide!" and "The Baptismal Plunge!" would have been instant crowd pleasers.
they didn't pray hard enough?
bout that little old family feud, was God playing any favorites? Let it be home for homeless and unemployed and hungry...kind of a west coast superdome.
chapter ll was clever. Vox
I guess what it means is that God called "bullshit."
