Boom! A gospel-centered church is not aiming to be the nicest - TopicsExpress



          

Boom! A gospel-centered church is not aiming to be the nicest church in town. That’d be nice. A gospel-centered church is not aiming to be the most popular church in town. That’d be cool. A gospel-centered church is not aiming to be the smartest church in town. That’d be okay. No, a gospel-centered church doesn’t aim to be the anything-est church in town because it’s not comparing itself to other churches, but to the holiness of God.... A gospel-centered church aims to be a gospel-proclaiming church in town. Because that would be glorious. A gospel-centered church is okay with its own decreasing — in reputation, in acclaim, in legacy, even in (gasp) numbers, but especially in self-regard — so long as it serves the increasing of the sense of the glory of God. thegospelcoalition.org/blogs/gospeldrivenchurch/2014/09/03/he-must-increase-our-churches-must-decrease/
