Cost to Build

May 10th, 2010

We’re a “church plant” and move in and out of South Lebanon Elementary each week.  They are gracious hosts, but I often think about the luxury of having our own place. 

Reading in 1 Chronicles about David making the preparations for his son Solomon to build the temple.  Did you know David procured 3,750 TONS of gold and 37,500 TONS of silver?  So I had to do the math–and in those two materials alone in today’s prices, God’s temple would have cost about 125 Billion dollars.  ($125,000,000,000)  Dang, that’s a building project!
