I believe a sign of spiritual maturity in pastors is seeing that God uses all types of churches to build his kingdom. By my standards, their tactics are absurd; their approaches are irrelevant; and their decisions are irrational. But one thing is certain ~ God uses all types of churches to impact people for eternity.
And my way isn’t the only way…
I never understood this 10 years ago when I was attending my father’s country church in Tipp City, Ohio. I thought there was only one right way of doing things, and I became my dad’s biggest thorn in the flesh. Instead of contributing, I criticized… Instead of leading, I loitered… Instead of building-up, I abandoned…
When our hands and feet aren’t serving, the only thing that moves is our mouth.
