Wow, what an amazing church. I pastor a church in North Carolina and have been thinking about an aquarium when we build our new sanctuary. What Pastor Rush has built is a beautfiful representation of the glory of God’s kingdom. He is an inspiration to me!

I need to comment after all of this reading, although I found it difficult to digest it all. I am a CURRENT member of IBOC and I love it! GOD is in the church. God is in Pastor Rush. All this talk about where he lives and what he drives and has.. well, read the points below about Job, Salomon’s temple, etc., they were well covered.

Ya’ll do not KNOW Pastor OBVIOUSLY! You MUST NOT know about all the great things he DOES DO for his community!!! Anyway, as far as the money stuff, Pastor Rush IS a LAWYER, does have BOOKS, was a TEACHER!!!! He has his OWN thing going that makes him money and was given to him by GOD! I’m no “blind follower”, I pray for God to guide my walk and lead me in ALL THINGS! IBOC has been part of Dallas as long as I can remember! When the church was in a SHACK people came and were fed GOD’S WORD, and they continue to get fed GOD’S WORD even today in a $40 million dollar “shack”.

My community is not RICH, our children may NEVER see a sight such as our church… THEY DESERVE TO SEE THE BEAUTY GOD CAN PROVIDE! I’d rather my children look up to a pastor than these movie stars and musicians! They NEED to see that GOD can provide these things to CHRISTIANS TOO!

God said he would give us the desires of our heart, but says SEEK YE FIRST THE KINGDOM OF GOD! Pastor SEEKS the will of GOD above all, so why would GOD exclude PASTOR from having the DESIRES of HIS HEART!? His desire was to bring this beautiful structure to the heart of O.C (Oak Cliff). Pastor was raised rough and has a story like us all.

Growing up poor, I can imagine that like us ALL, he wanted the nice house and cars too! I DO! MY KIDS DO! Am I UNGODLY!!!??? ARE YOU? Of course NOT! We just want nice things too! You do what pastor has done… YOU put in the time and effort and struggles… THEN ASK GOD FOR YOUR DESIRES!!!! (I bet you will have cars and homes and businesses TOO!) And probably some outlandish cool thing that you always said you wanted… He is a MAN like ME, like YOU. He has more than ME and probably YOU, because he has DONE MORE!!!!

I have changed from the feeding I received there, my family has changed as a result of the spiritual feeding as well. I see it for my self, 1 on 1!

May God Bless You and keep you. I pray for truth to be revealed, and wounds to be healed. IN JESUS NAME, AMEN!

Excuse me reality check let me tell you that what happens is going to happen and my pastor is just following the will of god he might of mad some mistakes over the time but hes human just like you. I and think you’ve gone way over line by telling people of the web where he lives, that is none of your business! Unless you would like to complain anymore! I would like to as k you to shut your mouth and just tell God. And if you know so much about this predicament why don’t you do something. Oh wait you can’t! Now this is soo dumb how all of you are fighting on a website that was supposed to be talking about God’s vision. I hope you ask for forgiveness. I’m praying for all of you.
May God god bless you

Comment on 4 Things You Should Know About Website Hosting by iMinistries

You are right, churches should spend time on their content. This is something that is often overlooked and is a sure sign of a bad looking site! However, I am going to disagree with you on a couple of your other points in your post.

1.) Full disclosure, I co-founded a Church Website CMS called iMinistries – http://www.iministries.org. I am obviously biased based on my life experiences.

2.) While WordPress is very cost effective, you have to know someone who will help you set it up and/or maintain it. We have found through our customers experiences that the individuals who are excited to help, either become burdened by the questions that come from the church and stop responding to their requests or they actually leave the church all together. This leaves them high and dry. It’s both shocking and disappointing.

By going with a company like iMinistires, you are gaining more than just a blogging engine, you get so much more (http://www.iministries.org/features). Besides all of this, our customers love that we are only an e-mail away to help them.

We wrote a good article once to help people understand the difference between different Church CMS’s that your users might find helpful.

http://www.iministries.org/10267/blogentry/entry_id/185272/What_s_the_Difference__Between_Church_Web_Content_Management_Systems_

3.) We offer both free templates that work with our CMS as well as being available to create a custom design. While I do agree with you that the design is very important, we have many who use our content management system and are super excited about using some of our free templates. Often times, those clients have a few hundred dollars to spend and they put it towards having us create a customer banner and/or ads.

Have a Merry Christmas!

There are “millions” of churches in the country that are larger, and probably more elaborate than ours. Why is it, that everyone wants to put their mouth on “one” in particular individual? OUR PASTOR! FOR ALL OF YOU THAT WANT TO SPEAK ON WHAT’S BEING DONE FOR THE COMMUNITY…WHAT HAVE YOU DONE? Last I remember, $10.00 can help the community, or any amount for that matter. Community consist of “more” than one person. HAVE YOU OFFERED TO DO “ANYTHING FOR ANYBODY”? STOP TRYING TO DO GOD’S JOB? “STOP JUDGING, AND CRITICIZING WHAT YOU DON’T KNOW. Remember, Jesus started with a little, God blessed it, increased it, AND HE FED THE MULTITUDES. I got a question: “DID JESUS BLESS EVERYONE HE SAW, OR CROSSED PATHS WITH, FINANCIALLY? DID HE GIVE THEM HOUSES? PAY THEIR BILLS? I’m glad we not living in the “old testament” times too…”TOUCH NOT MY ANOINTED AND DO MY(GOD’S MAN) PROPHET NO HARM”! For the record…Our Pastor can’t be “judged” by other peoples actions, or no other individual for that matter. Ask God to give “understanding” of the unknown concerning His Word. I PROMISE HE WILL…FREE!!
