What would happen to our industrial celebrity complex if we could with a wave of the magic wand get rid of everything that was launched out of selfish ambition? At a stroke most of Europe’s cathedrals would be gone for starters built as many were for the glory of an earthly not heavenly King. Mega church after mega church, gone. But then so would plenty of small churches that were set up to satisfy the ego of the leader who wasn’t given his due in his previous church. One person ministry after one person ministry gone. Social media accounts would vanish in a puff of bluster. But would my church survive, would my conference, would my ministry? Now that’s a tougher question.

What is the One verse every church planter must reckon with?

Have a great weekend.
