It is easy to think that the more people like us, the more successful our lives must be. Likewise, it is easy to believe the more people like a church, the more successful that church is. So here is an important epiphany for both individuals and churches. Popularity is not proof of success. Though there will be times when Christ’s gospel and those who proclaim it are popular, that popularity is never the goal. Nor does that popularity define success. The gospel of forgiveness is to be the center of all our ministry. The agenda for Christ’s Church is set. It’s the same agenda that was followed by the Church’s Christ.
