Another point he made - If “your“ God is not stronger than what you think was caused by the government or the devil, you don’t know Him.

Hi PO, I can see that as well. If you go into any Church, you could ask the members, how many people have you wirnessed to, how many have you brought to Church, how many have you won and it will be surprising what you will find out.
I used to be over cell ministry in the last Church before this one. There are some pitfalls there as well. One time we had a person move in and started teaching stuff that wasn't our core doctrine. Another one became unaccountable, and yet another thought they were on par with Pastor, or as a Ministerial equal.
I am glad when we left to start this new work, the kids were sad that they and a set of twins that were slightly older were the only kids. I told them to pray about it and invite their friends.
They did and in one service, I think it was Resurrection Sunday, Alanna had 14 if her friends out.
We definitely need to think out of the box and while I have learnt some things, I am by no means arrogant enough to say that I can't learn from someone else.
