Quick Thoughts...
...on some interesting scriptures that came up in church Sunday.
Matt 17:19-20 - Then the disciples came to Jesus privately and said, "Why could we not cast it out?" And He said to them, "Because of the littleness of your faith; for truly I say to you, if you have faith as a mustard seed, you shall say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there,' and it shall move; and nothing shall be impossible to you."Why isn't my church growing?" -- "Because of the littleness of your faith." Maybe when we ask questions about how to accomplish things like church growth, we should begin with self-examination -- not a strategic plan. Just a thought
I John 4:10 - In this is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins.Maybe all those praise choruses about how much we love God ought to be about how much God loves us? Just a thought.
