I get what you're sayin. But the church is supposed to grow, and I hate to think it, but it is getting harder and harder to get people to come to church so churches are deciding to spend the money on upgrading the buildings, sound systems, and all the things that may attract families. I don't understand it all, but we're losing people to the world year in year out. Many on here think that is great, but when you know what God has done for you and loved ones, and you want the world to know the same love of Christ that is available to them, it hurts to see people become bored of church and walk away. So we have to attract them. But you're on the right track 1911, it can never, ever be about the money, or even the entertainment value...if it is, it don't matter how big the church building becomes, you'll just have a big social club, doing nothing to build the Kingdom of God. God Bless you sir!
