Numbers or transformation
May 1, 2018
Our companies and even our churches love numbers. For companies: whose buying and how much do they spend? What’s the new trend?
What about the church? In the book of Acts there are numbers. People accepting Jesus as Messiah. People being added to the church. We can let those numbers distract us until we miss the main point. Transformation. Each person was committing to be a Christ follower, committing to each other to live in community together.
It has been said, if we focus on depth of ministry, God will take care of breath. Churches are tempted to drift and focus on numbers. Lets let God keep accounts, resist the cultural drift that promotes compromising God’s word and directives for popularity.
