Whenever I see a building like this I think, that is a church. Of course, I am just a little biased towards this one as I was the project manager for the construction of it after Hurricane Katrina. The reality of course is that is just a “Church Building” God’s Church is made up of true believers, the members of this Church, and many more around the world.
Yet the “Church” the body of believers may be in trouble. Pollster George Barna recently released another annual State of the Church report containing two articles worth reading.

“Churches tend to evaluate their success in ministry, their impact based on how many people show up, how many programs they offer, how many staff people they’ve hired, how much money they’re raising, how much square footage they built out,” Barna relays. “That’s bound to fail as a set of measures. Why? Because Jesus didn’t die for any of those.”
