We’ve heard it said that an opinion is
something you’ll argue about; but a conviction is something you’ll die
for. We must settle the issue that God wants his church to grow. All living
things grow. If a church is alive, it grows. Growing a healthy church is hard
work, and unless you clarify your convictions, you’re going to be tempted to
give up. Our desire should not be an average or normal church. Good is not good
enough.
See, the former things have taken place, and new
things I declare; before they spring into being I announce them to you.” Isaiah
42:9
