The types and shadows it represented are gone. We are the temple of the Holy Spirit now. Yes, we use buildings to worship, but this kind of foolish luxury brings shame on Christ's name. 7 million homes in foreclosure and they're trying to beg for money for a brilliant building?

Has anyone read the description of the Tabernacle lately? (Or Heaven, for that matter?) I can't help but wonder if some of God's people complained about the gold utensils in the House of God, "when that money could have been used to spread the Message"? As long as they're using the facility to win souls, I say, "God bless 'em"! Personally, I see nothing wrong with a church having a $130 million dollar building.

Take that $135MM and embark on the largest evangelism and missions project in the name of Christ Jesus through First Baptist of Dallas. Set an example for all the world too see that your hearts are focused on things above and not below. Store up for yourselves treasures in heaven where neither moths nor rust can destroy. Best wishes and prayers to all who are members of that community. First Baptist Church doesn't really need a new building in the heart of downtown Dallas.
