92% of churches in America are under 250 in attendance. Stop fretting about growing a large church and start determining to grow a healthy church. Churches are dying because Biblical preaching has been shoved to the back row. PREACH THE WORD!

You watch a preacher long enough, he will disappoint you. You attend a church long enough, it will let you down in some way. You serve in a ministry for some time, you will get hurt. All of these are true but it does not mean you quit, get bitter or leave. It does mean

★☆☆☆☆ "Hey Pastor, could we talk?" ★★★★★ "Hey Pastor, could I ask you a quick question next week? Nothing bad, just wanted your advice on ____” One question probably reminds your pastor of an ambush in his past. The other leaves him thankful.
