It's unfortunate even among "the church" that we find ourselves finding fault in churches that are experiencing Great Growth. We will find fault in them and say..."they are growing because___________" normally followed by some derogatory statement!
Anybody else ever seen that?

I can honestly say that at one time I was envious of others' "success." I think that was cured during the tele-scandals of the 80's when I learned that real success had nothing to do with size. In fact, the larger they were, the louder their fall. I think I have learned that success has everything to do with how what I do benefits others and nothing to do with how it benefits me.
