Alan Harstone of Discovering the Heart of God has joined the Philophronos blogroll. Go check out his latest post, In The End, Does The World Comes First?, and welcome him to the blogroll.
Twelve years ago my church embarked on an expansion project for our house of worship. The pastor at that time had promised that if they build it “the people will come”. So for five years they planned and prayed, and in 1999 the work began. A new sanctuary was constructed; new office space, and new Christian Ed rooms were put in place. A whole new wing was erected for the edification of God’s people, and for the glory of the Lord. And then they began to wait.
But the glory of the Lord didn’t fill this place. And, while a few curious people came to check us out, there was very little growth in the first five years of our brand new occupancy. And as leaders (I was on the scene by then) we gathered together to try to figure things out. I think we all knew what the answer is: our people needed to repent of some things and get serious about their walk with God.
I had forgotten all about that.
