Size Matters Little
Published October 14th, 2007 by Ken Silva in Devotions, Encouragement for PastorsThis is my humble gift to my brother pastors serving in obscure outposts during this Truth War seemingly alone as we battle apostasy within our own denominations. No, I don’t agree with everything Tozer says but he is dead on target in this teaching below.
O but I am blessed to tell you dear fellow soldier that while I am at my local church Connecticut River Baptist Church this morning I’ll likely see but 4 faces looking back at me. However, these people are in personal revival in Christ as am I. So as I testify to you of God’s greatness keep in mind that you are reading this here at Christian Research Net, an outreach of "little" CRBC. CRN itself being an outreach of another CRBC outreach Apprising Ministries.
You stay the course brother pastor and keep on fighting the good fight of the faith. And if I can ever be of service precious soldier please feel free to write me here or at AM. Soli Deo Gloria!
And he said unto them, Ye are they which justify yourselves before men; but God knoweth your hearts: for that which is highly esteemed among men is abomination in the sight of God. (Luke 16:15)
To God quality is vastly important and size matters little. When set in opposition to size, quality is everything and size nothing….
Man’s moral fall has clouded his vision, confused his thinking and rendered him subject to delusion. One evidence of this is his all but incurable proneness to confuse values and put size before quality in his appraisal of things. The Christian faith reverses this order, but even Christians tend to judge things by the old Adamic rule. How big? How much? and How many? are the questions oftenest asked by religious persons when trying to evaluate Christian things….
The Church is dedicated to things that matter. Quality matters. Let’s not be led astray by the size of things. BAM072-073,075.
"Encourage all those pastors who are discouraged today because they don’t match up to the ‘success’ of the big churches. Amen."
(A.W Tozer, Tozer on Christian Leadership, October 14)
