Why apologize for the size of your building?

A church near where I lived was spending millions on a covered parking garage. Somebody across the street put up a sign that basically said:

"Five million will build you a nice garage so you don't get wet in the rain or have to walk five or ten blocks to church.

Five million would also buy a million bibles that could be used to spread the word of the Lord, or help feed and clothe and shelter Christians in Africa and elsewhere.

What would Jesus do?"

John 12

1 Jesus therefore, six days before the pasch, came to Bethania, where Lazarus had been dead, whom Jesus raised to life. 2 And they made him a supper there: and Martha served: but Lazarus was one of them that were at table with him. 3 Mary therefore took a pound of ointment of right spikenard, of great price, and anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped his feet with her hair; and the house was filled with the odour of the ointment. 4 Then one of his disciples, Judas Iscariot, he that was about to betray him, said: 5 Why was not this ointment sold for three hundred pence, and given to the poor?

6 Now he said this, not because he cared for the poor; but because he was a thief, and having the purse, carried the things that were put therein. 7 Jesus therefore said: Let her alone, that she may keep it against the day of my burial. 8 For the poor you have always with you; but me you have not always.
