## Resource

A familiar complaint insists that spending money on church buildings is wasteful even sinful. But Scripture says the opposite: God rebukes those who live in paneled houses while His house lies in neglect (Hag. 1:2–9). The idea that God deserves less than we give ourselves is not piety it is sin. Yet this argument, born from Enlightenment unbelief and perfected by Marxists, always follows the same path: first the church does not need a building; then the farmer does not need his land; then the family does not need its home, its kitchen, its privacy. What begins as an attack on God’s house ends as an assault on your own. Meanwhile, states that preach “simplicity” for believers build monuments to themselves with confiscated wealth. The truth is simple: the God who gives us all things deserves our best, not our leftovers. And when men resent giving Him honor, the problem is not architecture it is their hearts.
