My mechanic told me, "I couldn't fix your brakes,
so I made your horn louder."
A report in USA Today says, "Ford scores marketing coup with thrifty Fusion hybrid.
The Ford Fusion hybrid will be the most fuel-efficient midsize sedan on the market when it arrives this spring, clocking in at 41 miles per gallon."
A popular Florida grocery chain is Publix. Near Ocala, they closed one store and built a new, much larger and nicer one about two miles down the road. At the new store, it is hard to find a parking space.
An old phrase applies to both of the above. It says, "If you build a better mousetrap, the mice will find it." If you build a better product, people will discover it. The same applies to churches. We have seen it locally. If you build a new, larger, fancier church, people seem to be drawn to it. It's part of human nature.
Bigger may not always be better, but it seems to reach more people. I would never enjoy being part of a mega-church, but it meets the needs of many people, especially if you just want to be lost in the crowd. I don't know anything about your church, but is it possible that a good face-lift (for the church, not you) would result in reaching more people for Christ?
2 Cor. 13:11 says, "Rejoice. Change your ways. Encourage each other. Live in harmony and peace. Then the God of love and peace will be with you." This applies to every church, regardless of size. This is the right kind of change.
