Steven furtick posted a great blog this morning here
It addresses a concern I have had for some time about motivations. To many times it is about where we stand as a little c church and not a big C church. That is why we are floundering. That is why 75% of my county is not attending church and not being productive Christians. We need to focus on reaching people for Christ no matter where they are or where they wind up attending church. I often tell people who either inactive or unhappy with our church that they need to be involved in a church and if they don’t like ours anymore find one they can be active in. In the end it is about the Kingdom expanding not my church’s roll
