Attitude Check

Oct 26, 2009
The grass is always greener on the other side. After recently moving to a much bigger town and a much bigger church (and a very excellent church at that), I still have an eye on what the other churches around town are doing, and what people think of them.
The church I’m attending is doing very well, and is on a path that I think is very Biblical, and has been great for me personally too. Still I look at what others are doing and wonder if we can do something better.
Which brings me to the point. What are we thinking when we look around? What’s our reasoning? If we get angry, then why? No, really. Why? Are you like this pastor?
I am just sick of everyone around here talking about that church, and how many people they baptize and how many people get saved over there. There is no way they baptized over 1,000 people last year. Those numbers can’t be real. I have been in this town for 17 years and we can’t even get people to come to free concerts with free food, so I know they can’t be doing everything they say they are doing! Their numbers are inflated, they have to be!
