The Church is not an enforcer of rules, but an outpost of grace
Great churches aren't built on the gifts or talents of a few, but on the sacrifice of many.
Church should be enjoyed, not endured.
The devil doesn't care how big your church is - he cares how influential it is.
We planted the church by starting a Sunday night outreach. The very first Sunday we had 70 people turn up. The second week, there were 60, the third week, 53, and by the fourth week, 45. I've often joked that we worked it out at the time- we had only four and a half weeks left until there were no more people. It was about that time that we had our first ever commitment to Christ. We outgrew the school hall after 12 months. The crowds were so big that we were using road-case as the platform, and what should have been the stage as a balcony so that we could fit more people in.
