HAVE YOU MISSED THE HEART OF GOD??

When the church budget becomes so big that you have to drain the resources
of the people to keep the building afloat
you have missed the heart of God.


Better that you sell the building and meet in a tent than that you bleed
your congregation of their resources. Contrary to popular opinion,
he who dies with the biggest church does not win.


When the church building and its maintenance become a bigger priority
than the well-being of the people
you have missed the heart of God.


When you preach more to gain an offering than you do to win a soul
you have missed the heart of God.


When the extent of your ministry centers around the extent of your gain
you have missed the heart of God.


When you rejoice more in a large offering than you do in a changed person
you have missed the heart of God.


True Christianity is not about what others can do for you but about what you can do for others.
