America is just around the corner from this happening as well.Recently we read in the SF Chronicle where the Catholic church is going ahead with a plan to abandon or shutter 12 churches (possibly more) in SF due to nobody wants to attend. My wife & I took the time to drive by a few of these locations & they are in trendy parts of town & some of them are being looked at to open clubs, renovate for condos, coffee shops & boutiques. The article says nobody has approached them for the purpose of using these gorgeous structures for houses of worship.They used to say that whatever happens in California eventually happens nation wide. You can only harvest the S/E United States to the point of saturation for so long.Eventually the calling that God places on the hearts of people will bring them to the mission fields west of the Rockies. I just hope it’s not too late.________________Empty nest syndrome is for the birds!Email me at: [email protected] planters are focused on just one thing …introducing people to Jesus!
Thanks Doyle, very moving point. Yes we all know the buildings are not sacred, but the one they represent is. When we forsake the truths represented we pay the price…Dean has a great point also. ________________Some facts but mostly just my [email protected]/
You know these buildings are no more houses of God than our own houses are houses of God________________
