Bible Question: The church I attend does not have a permanent church building..We meet in a High School...They have been meeting there for over 5 years..I feel its time to build a church facility and quit wasting money on renting facilities...I do not find much enthusiasm for building in our congregation...What are your feelings on the need for a church building and do you feel its time to move on to a church with a building rather than stay and cause discontent in my present church?....Thx |
Bible Answer: We are going through a building project which I intially strongly resisted. I hated the fact that churchs own trillions of dollars of real estate worl wide and that this was all built on the faithfulness of the saints. God challended my one night to put his kingdom first and give a substantial gift to the project, which I did. I can your reasons for for wanting to build the building, heck isn't it why we all want to own our own homes? What you need to do is sell your vision over a long period in a positive way and put it to prayer. Then if the body says no, then live with it, if all agree after every option has been examined and prayed upon, then rejoice. |
