Comments on: Church Growth: The Difference Between Big and Small Churches http://oneinjesus.info/2008/10/church-growth-the-difference-between-big-and-small-churches/ Thu, 09 Feb 2012 08:16:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Joe Baggett http://oneinjesus.info/2008/10/church-growth-the-difference-between-big-and-small-churches/#comment-3903 Joe Baggett Tue, 21 Oct 2008 11:52:11 +0000 http://jayguin.wordpress.com/?p=2293#comment-3903 Many people in many churches today say "God gives the increase so we can't grow". If here this one more time I think I'll vomit. This is a cop out for standing around and doing nothing or the same thing over and over again. Jesus and the Apostles say we are in charge of planting, watering, and cultivating and God is in charge of the light that makes everything grow. There are many churches who have failed to learn how to plant, water, and cultivate in the post modern soil that we find ourselves. They are still planting seeds from a bag of seeds dated 1950, these seeds were to convince the people in erring denominations that their way of doing church was wrong and the churches of Christ is right.

I thought sure you'd be too upset over the football fortunes of the Volunteers to participate. I think the Tide heads to Knoxville in 9 days. Ah ... the anticipation! Matthew,
