Church Marketing Sucks had an interesting post the other day regarding church buildings. It was a call to generate discussion about whether church build a place of worship or just a functional warehouse. Okay, that is my paraphrase, read it for yourself. Below is my view.
Of all the great advancements the fundamental church has given us, they have taken away the wonder of God's majesty. In response to the over-reliance of icons and symbols of the Catholic Church, modern-day Protestants have removed them all. I would think of all blogs, this would be one that would get the importance of the place of worship.
The church building is as much marketing as the signage outside. How many churches have you been to where the focus on the pulpit? Yes, we should be Bible-based, but our focus should lead to Christ. Let's don't blow the wad, but let's use everything to speak to the wonder and glory beyond ourselves.
Whether in word or deed, let's do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus.
