Andy Stanley apologized on Twitter for saying anyone who doesn't go to a large church is "so stinkin' selfish" in one of his recent sermons.  

"The negative reaction to the clip from last weekend's message is entirely justified. Heck, even I was offended by what I said! I apologize," Stanley tweeted

Stanley's apology stems from a sermon where he told his congregation anyone who doesn't go to a large church is selfish.  

"We want churches to be large enough so that there are enough middle schoolers and high schoolers so that we don't have one youth group with middle school and high school together," Stanley said in the clip. "We want there to be so many adults that there will be so many middle school and high school kids so that we can have two separate environments."
