I saw a great church sign on the Internet the other day. It said, "Come hear our pastor. He's not very good, but he's short."
Now I am glad that Mary Anne hasn't placed that on our sign yet. Perhaps it's because I'm not short? But the sign gets me thinking about how we measure success?
I truly believe that the best measuring stick that we can use for our church is faithfulness. If we are being faithful to our calling, we will be successful. If we lack faithfulness, then we will fail no matter how many people show up or how much offering comes in. Faithfulness can be explained as simply as following and trusting God where ever he leads. Faithful churches come in varied shapes, colors and sizes, but they are always pleasing to God. Could we really ask to be anything more?
