Life Application Ministries in Warren, Michigan, already spent $1.2 million to build a community center. But the incomplete building will now be razed by the city after neighbors agreed that it had become a public nuisance after dealing with years of its stalled completion.

The church’s pastor, Bishop Adolphus Cast, told the Detroit Free Press that his church had been fighting to save the building after battling through a series of problems, including local government corruption, to complete it. But God recently told him to let it go.

“God answered. ‘The building is just a building,'” he explained in a news release cited by the Detroit Free Press. “Give the City Council what it wants. The reality is, this is not about a building.

Notable apologist and author Alex McFarland’s latest Truth for a New Generation conference will have a focus on saving the United States and its constitutional rights.

“We are losing our freedoms, we’re actually suffering as a nation because of our abandonment of morality or what we might call natural law,” McFarland told The Christian Post.

Begun by McFarland back in the 1990s, Truth for a New Generation will kick off its next conference at Life Community Church in Jamestown, North Carolina, on Friday.

McFarland noted that the chief purpose of the conference remains evangelism and equipping believers to intellectually defend the faith. He stressed that “without a return to morality and God, we stand to lose our Constitution.”

Graham, who recently passed away on Feb. 21, preached thousands of sermons to millions of people throughout his lifetime. The sermons, which will be featured on “The Billy Graham Channel,” will focus on Graham’s messages about Easter and the death and resurrection of Christ.

Franklin Graham also promoted the messages on his Facebook account:
