Some of our pastoral staff just recently attended a pastors conference in Colorado Springs, CO. One quote jumped out at me today as I was looking back through my notes from the week:
David Perkins said “The church is looking for greater methods, God is looking for greater men. What ministry looks like, is NOT the most important, what its leaders look like IS.”
2 Chronicles 16:9 says “The eyes of the Lord search the whole earth in order to strengthen those whose hearts are fully committed to him.”
That’s what God is looking for. He’s not looking for the next great method, but the next great man. He’s not looking for programs that look right but hearts that look right. We get FAR too caught up in ministry and Christianity in how our churches and programs look and often forget that God is searching the WHOLE EARTH looking for those whose hearts are fully committed to Him. I want Him to find me. Do you?
Following Christ,
Jeff
