What kind of building does your church meet in? And comment: do you like it?
Church buildings are obviously extra-Scriptural. Still, with changing times, growth and decline, etc., it is interesting to try to determine the structural needs of the future. The place to begin is where we are and to learn practical points from one another.
Our church has had to invest ridiculous amounts of money to maintain our buildings. These are not frills.
So comments about your own church family’s facility or meeting place can help the many of us who are uncertain, especially given our changing times.

Is Andy Stanley Ashamed of the Bible?
A few weeks ago I was engaged in a Facebook discussion with a man who was enamored with the teaching of Andy Stanley. This discussion led to my listening to and evaluating three of Andy’s more recent sermons — two of which the man picked for me as good examples of solid preaching by Andy. This led to the suggestion by another man in my church (a man who is about to be appointed as a fellow elder) that I should turn my critiques into a blog post for the benefit of others.
