First, allow me to greet you in the name of our common Master, the Lord Jesus.
I am writing to you as a fellow pastor - the pastor of a smaller church.
While I hope that you do not consider me a lesser brother because of
the smallness of my church, what I ought rather to say is that I do not
consider you an unworthy brother because of the largeness of yours. I
am not one of the small-church critics who holds the opinion that large
churches are universally evil. Rather, I believe that if it is God’s
will a church like yours can do much good for the cause of the gospel.
Some mega-church pastors care little for the gospel. That sort of man
would probably stop reading my letter as soon as he read that my church
is small. In such a man’s eyes the great gospel can only be served by
great men with great vision and wisdom and great results - meaning great
turn-out each Sunday. Keep Reading...
