Gospel as Affirmation of Success
The hardest thing for a church planter is to fight alone in this world. So we look for the accolades and the attention and affirmation of others, forgetting that we are not fighting alone, but we are fighting a war that is beyond ourselves, and in that war we are united with all church planters and pastors, and believers who are actively living out the Great Commission. Let the gospel be your affirmation and your foundation.
From Tim Dunn at Planting Ohio. This post is very encouraging to me. I have felt rather alone, both going through Re:Train and looking towards planting a church. I would love nothing more than to have brothers here in Ann Arbor join me on this journey. However, that can’t approach the comfort I have through the Eternal Comforter and I get to rejoice in that. Hallelujah, All I Have is Christ!
