$2.7 million for a building. I've never seen that much money spent on a building in the gospels. They raise $2.7 million for the building the pastor gets up and says, see what God has done He has blessed us beyond measure. As if God actually gave them $2.7 million for a building.
I think in general men are builders. Pastors get bored and need projects. We stopped giving to stuff like this. You wanna give to the poor the needy something like this I'll give. But to projects that will only make members more comfortable, no not gonna happen.
