We need to mature as a church so we can reach more people. We need to reach further than weve reached. The Church is the greatest hope that his world has. It is not the only vehicle of the kingdom, but its the primary vehicle of the kingdom. Gods vision is to grow and expand the Church and the Church shouldnt be apologetic about numbers, because numbers is people. Jesus intends on building His Church, which is His body. And how do you think He plans on doing it? Hes going to use you and me and its going to cost us a little more time, a little more energy, and even a little more money if we are to see the Church super-sized. |
