Proverbs 11:24-31: There is that scattereth, and yet increaseth; and there is that withholdeth more than is meet, but it tendeth to poverty. The liberal soul shall be made fat: and he that watereth shall be watered also himself. (vv. 24-25) What a paradox this seems! Yet with a discerning eye one can see this demonstrated, not only in the church mentioned above, but in many churches across the land. Let no one misunderstand that we rejoice in the great increase in attendance in any church, but we must not be fooled into accepting such as the guarantee of spiritual increase. Nor should we assume that this modern impetus in building new church sanctuaries demonstrates the increase of God. 30
