Church: Don't trade God's way that is grounded in His Word for the next fad, seminar or movement.
Church: Don't trade God's way that is grounded in His Word for the next fad, seminar or movement. Many of these things are geared to supposedly "grow your church" but in the end...it doesn't truly provide growth and maturity no matter the the temporary numbers of attendees it may bring in.
To be the true church and see true growth, to name a few of the many things we need to do...we need to fulfill the great commission, teach and grow in the Word and wisdom and knowledge of God, keep Jesus in the center of all we do, rely on the power of the Holy Spirit in all we do and more. True growth happens when God is in center of what we do as He directs us and is the author and perfector of our faith... Not the other way around.
In sum, don't drink the Kool-Aid and don't give Kool-Aid to others instead...give them the true meat of the Word and point them to the living water, Jesus Who is the Only One Who can quench their thirst and provide true growth with the help of The Holy Spirit.
