Michael, you’d better watch it! 1st (insert denomination here) of (insert town name here) in the US of A needs that new gym! I don’t know if you remember, but I posted on the old Pipertalk message board that I thought it was ridiculous for churches to spend that kind of money on a place to play basketball instead of foreign missions. The “recreation director” (or something like that) at Piper’s church blistered me with a post because they use their’s to minister to inner city folk (Piper himself has said that there is no inner city in Minneapolis; he’s right.). Folks tend to get a little testy when it comes to their “Family Life Centers”. BTW, I appreciate the hope with which you see the world. That’s the kind of missiology that I learned from Let the Nations be Glad! and from our main missions prof here.
