Churches often mistake inactivity for discernment, but spiritual momentum comes through obedience, not strategy. When God says move, and we hesitate, we stop His work before it starts. Renewal rarely begins with a new idea; it begins with an obedient heart.

Most churches aren’t big—they’re normal. Stop apologizing for size. Lean into your strengths, love people well, and trust God with the growth.

When the church leaders and the congregation understand God's faithfulness, they can lead with confidence and inspire trust among the members. Christ is faithful, so we can trust His ability to build His church in His way. Our churches are not declining and dying because God has grown weak. They are declining and dying because we have lost sight of His glory, power, majesty, and preeminence in His church.
