Church’s Spire and Meaning of Religion
Regarding the article, “Schuller Still Aiming High: Crystal Cathedral to Add 233-Foot Spire,” I say shame! I’m so sick of watching preachers and evangelists making a mockery of God’s word.
The Bible tells me that many go into the preaching profession. But only a few are truly chosen. I see the Jimmy Swaggarts, Jimmy Bakkers, Oral Roberts and Robert Schullers supposing to give God the edification. But everything they seem to be doing besides preaching the word is to edify themselves for their own aggrandizement.
Regarding the $5.5 million for a 233-foot spire: What a waste, what an insult to Jesus Christ, who would be out there with the homeless, the sick and the hungry, feeding them, healing them and crying with them. What has happened to our values? They seem to be hypocritical and way off balance.
Forget the spire. Remember the poor and lost souls out there.
