High Attendance Easter service.

Dear Christians, may we proclaim truth from God and not pollute our churches and lives with traditions of man. May we not try to attract attention to ourselves rather than following the Truth found in John 3:30.

May we stop with the branding of our churches, the competing with other Gospel-teaching churches, and not be obsessed with marketing for Easter Sunday rather we should trust in the Maker of Heaven and Earth.

Yes we invite people to a church gathering to hear the Gospel. It is vitally important for them to hear the good news of Jesus Christ! But seeing churches compete for the biggest crowds is nauseating.


God grows His church in His providence and we are responsible to introduce the lost to Jesus as Christians.

May we not see the amount of people on a check list as good for our pride but value the souls in the chairs tomorrow morning.
I recently, hopefully encouraged the local leaders of the church I am a member of with this message
"I firmly believe that, based off the Bible, God wants His people debt-free. So may God use and multiply our church's debt-free resources that we have prayed for, to focus on local and global evangelism, discipleship, and worship.  I love and pray for you dear leaders of our church to live a life devoted to knowing, loving, and obeying God in all your ways."

This Sunday's "success" is not dependent on our obedience and the sovereign good Will of God, but those two things ARE the success we pursue. I love you Brothers dearly, Grace and Peace be with you. Matthew 5:16;28:16-20

Soli Deo Gloria.
