  1. I think he spoke a truth well. That truth needs to be kept handy as we go through life. Since the church is just a group of individuals with their own unique gifts to utilize – it’s not any one person’s responcibility to make a big impact, but rather, it’s the sum of each individual’s effort that produces the end result… Keeping in mind that is the Lord who is the author, finisher, the one who impowers it all to begin with.

  2. Yeah, I think we can very often take credit for what God is doing… when often I think He works and moves and changes despite us. We probably need to worry less about our results and outcomes and more on our responsibility and faithfulness to be obedient servants. Thanks for sharing.
