– Growth is complex and there's plenty going on.- We preach sermons as if we have many years and there's no urgency, no heaven, no hell…- Some pastors lack ppl skills, conflict resolution skills, leadership skills etc. You'd rather have someone preaching the gospel rather than no one. And yet if we can, we should seek those who are competent.- 50% rule: If you are in a building less than 50% full, it feels too empty.
