Keep the Lean

You gotta keep the lean and throw out the rest.

Too many books on the shelves today all bidding for a place in the mind. Gotta keep the 2-5% that's helpful, study those portions and dump the 90% + rest into the garbage can. So many books poking around how to "do church" and "how to grow the church" it's come to a point of insanity.

How about remembering the lean. If we wanna grow, than we need to glorify God. Bringing glory to God is about being powerful image bearers. He will make us grow if we're bent on glorifying Him.

Out love others. Out serve others. Be more sacrificial than others. Forget the majority about what you read about methodology, and look into the mirror and say, "I must decrease, He must increase."

Out love others.
