YOU:
<ME: As our Lord Jesus says, "Be it done, according to your faith." What are you trying to drive at by reducing God's stature in accordance to the size of the building. Don't you ever be fooled by such arguments or thinking? It is our faith in a great God that makes the difference. By all means, if you want to build a small church building that will fit your simple requirements of providing for a Sanctuary and classrooms for nursery children. Or you want to build one once and for all and that one size fits all. It is still glorifying to God. Or you want to build one that allow you to see through the heavens while you worship God like the magnificent Crystal Cathedral-an all-glass structure-in Garden Grove, California whose Senior Pastor is Rev Dr Robert Schuller. It sure glorifies God! >
JD: I just ask one question. If buildings does indeed glorify God as in the sense you say, What about all those old Catholic/Protestant churches in Europe standing almost empty today ? Does it Glorify the true Living God or not ? I say it is the people IN the church that Glorify God , not the building Per se. If the people in the church are not what counts, we can just build the building and just relax, isn't it ? No NO.....People who see a big building will not Glorify God UNLESS they come to know the people who bult it and to know the story behind it and if they countinue to Love those who come there...... It is the people that makes the difference....not the Building..... JD
