Growth is Hard
Oak Leaf Church is a growing church, and I’ll be honest with you. It would be easier for a lot of us if we weren’t growing, because growth is difficult.
- Growth means change. Not everybody likes change, and some people feel left behind when changes happen.
- Growth means more responsibility. There’s more at stake and there are more people involved.
- Growth is expensive. Diapers for little girls are expensive. But young adult girls getting married are more expensive.
Growth is much harder than maintaining the status quo. But God expects His church to grow, so I’ll keep changing, accepting responsibility and paying the price.
