Love the building? Love God?

The people who built St Andrew's did so because they loved the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. The building was an expression of God's majesty and greatness. It was built to point people to him. Often I meet people who love the building and want nothing to do with the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. I only wish they would see it is only meant to be a 'pointer' to something greater.

Oh well, maybe we just speak more clearly about the majesty, goodness and greatness of our God. The apostle Paul was happy for the greatness of God to be seen in contrast to his own weakness (2 Cor 1-4). Have a read. In the meantime we will look after the building God has given us, with all due consideration of its heritage, and grieve the fact it frequently fails to point people to him.
