Top 50 most influential Christians in America
Check this out: http://www.thechurchreport.com/content/view/823/32/
Please COMMENT on what you think about this list!! Personally, I’m quite disappointed that Louie Giglio (of Passion Conferences) was not included in this list:( At least his buddy Andy Stanley is at a high #13!!–beating out a lot of people, including Max Lucado who came in at #17, John Piper came in at #24, Rob Bell at #25, Brian McLaren at #42, followed by Erwin McManus at #43, Beth Moore at #45. Didn’t know Andy Stanley was so influential in the American church.
Dr.Phil is on the list at #50–I can’t believe they consider this guy a Christian, let alone of the top 50 most influential Christians in America! Other surprises include pep-talker Joel Osteen and touch-and-be-healed crusader Benny Hinn. And I’m quite disappointed that Al Mohler of the SBTS was not included :S

i’ve been reading this book lately called Velvet Elvis by Pastor Rob Bell. so, he talks about the formation of his church. he said on the first day, he got rid of the sign in the front that said that building was a church…and God brought 1000 people to the doors…and as weeks went by, they had to start turning people away because of safety regulations. by the end of 3 months, they had 10,000 people, and they had to buy the mall nearby to accomodate everyone. that’s really exciting…intense…but very inspiring.
