You're in Georgetown~I was just at the Walter Reed Medical Center this mornin' representing the Red Cross delivering stuff for the Wounded Warriors~~I shoulda stopped around and you'd see I'm only a sap on the internet, not IRL :laugh:
That's actually a different Georgetown, although you're certainly welcome next time you're in my Georgetown.
Thank you for your service to our veterans.
Anyhow I don't see the piling up cash to build a bigger barn as spilling out funds for worship...just doesn't look like the same thing at all.
I don't think they're the same, but I do think they're very similar.
Both are being done for God's glory and for the purpose of doing the work of the Gospel.
You call it "building a bigger barn", but I call it building a building with the space and resources to accomodate our ministries.
We're going to break ground on our new building this summer and, while it's going to be a very nice building, the reason it's taken us this long to build is that we've always made sure to make sure our priorities are straight in our spending (ie. planting new churches, sending our missionaries, supporting missionaries in the field, our evangelism ministry, running two rescue missions, CPCs, scholarships for our Bible school, etc).
It's not as if we're just saving money for the sake of saving money.
