God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)

Help the religious pluralist see that he does not really believe that all roads lead to heaven. If he did, then he would not express outrage at suicide bombings, human sacrifice, and other such practices that even staunch religious pluralists find abhorrent. One cannot consistently embrace religious pluralism and relativism and at the same time object to any religious belief or practice. If sincerity is all that matters for salvation, religious terrorists who sincerely believe their god calls them to kill others do nothing wrong when they obey him. To condemn even one religious belief is to appeal to some ultimate, normative standard by which we may evaluate religion, establishing that standard as the one, true religion – and there can be no one, true religion for the honest religious pluralist.

The fundamental pre-construction process can be summarized in the following points: 1. Understanding how the vision for the church dictates a need to build. 2. Understanding whether it is the Lord’s timing for the church to build. 3. Understanding what the church can afford to build and how the church will pay for it. 4. Understanding what the church needs to build and why it is the right thing to build to meet the needs of the ministry. 5. Developing a building plan that is defined by the church’s needs and bound by the budget of the ministry. 6. Starting a capital campaign. 7. Securing a financing commitment.
