Then Jesus said, "Go and Build a New Building."

I was talking to some dudes whose church was cutting back on their missions giving because they were in the midst of a $6,000,000 building campaign. They "need" a new sanctuary. Their state of the art multipurpose room isn't quite good enough anymore.

I wonder how many missionaries they could support around the world or how many churches they could plant with $6,000,000!

Somebody please tell me how a church justifies spending that much money on a building that will get used once or maybe twice a week? Really, how do that many people come to a conclusion like that?

When are the people of God going to suffer for the Kingdom?

Couldn't they call the general - "General Steel" - and build a $200,000 or even a $500,000 building and use the other $5.5 million dollars they raised to give to missions and plant new churches? Here's the number to General Steel 1-800-745-2685.

Sell Your Church dot Com

Welcome to "Sell Your Church Building dot Com." This blog is dedicated to being a voice of reason for the modern day church. This blog is dedicated to starting a transformation within the church. The church in the west has untold financial resources: people, property, cash, investments. This money could be used to clothe the naked, feed the hungry and set the spiritual prisoners free all around the globe.

This money could be used to change the world for the Kingdom of God and bring about a reformation of faith, hope and love on this planet that will be unparalleled in history.

It is time the church began to use the gifts that God has given them.
