Measuring Success

I had a great time at the Healthy Reproducing Churches Conference in Champaign. The main speaker was Glenn Smith - a fantastically down-to-earth guy who "spoke my language." And Gil Rowe (who lurks here from time to time) did an AWESOME job of planning this event (Thanks Glenn and Gil!!!).

I copped this quote off of Glenn's blog:

Large churches are a great blessing to our cities in many ways, and I highly value their contribution to Kingdom work. However, I hope we can measure success not by the size of our church but by the lives that are transformed through the power of the gospel.

A big huge AMEN to that!
