Great response Sherri and Sam. Sam, I especially like the last line. I'm involved in some ministering that probably helps other churches more than it helps mine. So am I concerned about the growth in the kingdom or growth in my church? Now don't misunderstand, I certainly am interested in our church growth but I sincerely want it to be for the right reason.
