I can understand this writer's feelings. We've built large buildings with empty seats or seats filled with empty people. We've put our building programs and our coffee hours before righteousness, holiness, obedience. Jesus is taken off the shelf when we need Him for something, and put back up when things are going well. He wants intimacy with us. We need to get back to basics. A nice church building is helpful but not always needed. We need HIM, not all the trimmings.
