What are We to Make of Mega-Church Foreclosures?

What are the common links here? It seems to me that these megachurches cited are not the typical megachurches, but those that are currently enveloped in some type of scandal. All three involve blatent and public sin of the leaders.
The narrator says that mega-churches are 'one scandal away from forclosure'. My question: Isn't this the case with every church, though? If the pastor of a 200 member church openly sins, let's say he punches his wife in the local Wal-mart parking lot, or if he divorces his wife, does that not put the church in danger of having many people leave? And if people leave and offerings plummet, that 200 member church is in the same boat as the 20,000 member church. My theory is that this is more of a problem of theology rather than size. Most of the larger churches that have had huge breakdowns over the past year are the more pentecostal word-of-faith churches (no offense to my pentecostal friends). I see more similarities there than I do with church size.
What think thee?

It is really a nice post, its always great reading such posts, this post is good in regards of both knowledge as well as information.It is not inevetible you must have God focused leadership that is intuned to the leading of God who cannot fail this is a correction in the church to weed out leadership that is not truly focused on God but on their own agenda. God cannot fail but hearing and do His will is somtimes very hard, ehen we lean to our own understanding is when we fall into trouble . Thanks for the post.
