Where is it in the scriptures that the church should not spend any money on building a church?
Why should not the house of God look pretty from the outside and the inside?

You manifest a common OP tendancy-to only view all things in the context of extremes.
No one has said the "House of God" should be a rundown shack, but I'd be there are move legitimate moves of God in buildings like that, than all the magnificent churches in the world combined. All NH seemed to be saying is, if the church is a decent and nice building, why make it a palace? The churc in Decatur is really nice, but it won't any top 10 lists. That doesn't mean we need to keep improving what is already more than adequete.
