To Build or Not to Build
That is the question that was asked me this morning. What is my vision for building a new High School Facility? Because "money follows vision." Andy Stanley said that, or at least that was what I was told. Can I picture the mobs of students that will come to Christ at the concerts and overnights? Can I give them a projected number?
I humbly requested that we might use the same money to free up people to to minister to students. We pay nothing currently for the homes that we meet in on Wednesday nights. It's crazy, people in the church just offer their homes for us to use, some even make dinner for us. But we want to build a place that High School student can call "home." Is there really any replacement for actually meeting in people's homes, sitting in their living rooms and singing in their hallways? Is their any better way to communicate that the church is not a building but that we are the people of God wherever we meet?

during the rise of the megachurch warnings were frequent: "the Church isn't a building, it's the people". now the rise of the home church, we must heed a warning" the Church isn't a building, it's the people".
Wow. I have a paradigm shift.
