What fuels the fire of your church?
There are countless answers, but there is only one answer for your church. Pandora's box is open. Is it growth, success, acclaim, accomplishment? Or is it righteousness, glory, obedience, service? Again, there are many answers but only one true answer for each of us.
Please no "squirrel answers." What's that, you say? I heard a story once about a kid's Bible school class where the teacher described to the children a brown animal, with a bushy tail, that lives in a tree, that collects nuts. She asked the students if they knew what the animal was. Johnny raised his hand. The teacher called on Johnny, and he replied, "Teacher, that sure sounds a lot like a squirrel, but since we are at church the answer must be Jesus."
Squirrel answers are the bane of the modern church. Everyone knows the "right" answer. The question is "Is it truthful?"
