MONROE - Monroe fire officials set damage at $700,000 after lighting struck and burned down a 62-foot-high Jesus Christ statue and an adjacent amphitheater at Solid Rock Church late Monday.

Church leaders are vowing to rebuild the iconic "King of Kings" statue - also dubbed "Touchdown Jesus" - which alone was valued at $300,000.

Monroe Fire Capt. Richard Mascarella said the other $400,000 in damage was to the amphitheater when flames from the sculpture spread to the back wall and roof.

"You shall not make for yourself an idol in the form of anything in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the waters below." Exodus 20:4

btw i love that they spent so much of "god's money" on a statue. Very biblical.

That's one of the things I hate most about the modern church. Many continue to spend money on huge, expensive buildings instead of helping people with that money.

What would Jesus say about all this?

"How hard it is for the rich to enter the kingdom of God. It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich person to enter the kingdom of God!"

I agree. But it's not just the modern church. Look at most of the history of the church. They used the money to build ridiculous churches and fund wars and ignored all those in need.

      Hulu +Live: $88.78 Amazon Prime: $16.00 (w/FanDuel: $36.12) Apple TV+: $10.66 Netflix:$26.68 Is all still $80 less per month than what I was paying for DirecTV when I gave it up a few years ago.

      2025 College Football Thread

      I just don't know that he has the time to turn it around at his age. His age is going to be a major strike against him in the recruiting trail and it's just a tough row to hoe to turn a football program around. One good recruiting class can turn around a basketball team. A good recruiting class is 2-3 years down the road from significantly impacting a college football program... if you can actually keep them around. The instant impact is in the portal but everyone else is chasing those guys too. If I was building a college program, I'd focus almost exclusively on the trenches starting out. To me, that's the big difference in college. The better teams dominate the trenches. There's just a LOT more talent disparity at the college level than there is the NFL level. The worst teams in the NFL are still full of guys who were all conference or all American at the college level. The gap between the best team in the NFL and the tenth best team in the NFL is pretty small. A couple of plays might be the difference. The #1 team in the country is probably going to be a 10 point favorite over the #10 team at the college level. The gap on talent between the #1 team and the #32 team is a massive gulf. The #1 team's backups would be competitive against the #32 team. I just don't know if Belichick after a career in the NFL was prepared for the level of talent disparity he was going to face.

      Saints just released a good safety

      I wouldn't drop David Moore, honestly. Moore, while long in the tooth and light in production, is about the only veteran presence in the WR room now and the only one with extensive experience with what Canales wants and needs. And that's probably why he made the roster. Still, aging safeties who might make a decent gunner just aren't where you want to spend your money and roster spots. Even at vet minimum, he's not going to be as cheap or maybe as trainable as some UDFA who would run through a brick wall for a roster spot for rookie league minimum and a chance.
