Perhaps some, in worshiping God, do not like the fluffyness and touchy-feely megachurches or the institutional feeling of cathedrals. The church WILL overcome all enemies as the Body of Christ...with or without these building trusting churches.

Mike,

Are you now being sarcastic by saying "building trusting churches?" That's a total straw man. Who is trusting in buildings? I could take a cheap shot and say you're trusting in non-buildings but I don't believe you do.

The problem is deeper than that and we live in a shallow generation that doesn't reflect on things. Buildings, or lack of them, communicates what we believe about things. For example, building a Club Store-like structure that has no identifying symbols like crosses or steeples on it communicates the idea that the church is transitory and impermanent which it is not. Also, meeting in a home communicates that the church is completely informal, small, and weak, which it most certainly is not. In fact, the church is the people of the greatest empire the world will ever see and the Supreme Court that the age to come will reveal. I think the physical structure of the church should communicate something of this. After all, I don't think anyone wants to go to someone's apartment for brain surgery or to someone's back patio to have a court case heard. Why is the church something less than this?
