When I became the
pastor of the church in Oak Lawn, I (secretly) thought I would be the
successful pastor of the successful church filled with successful people. I was not anticipating the possibility that
God had other plans in mind. As time has
gone by I’ve come to realize that a more accurate description of the situation
would be that we are the church for hurting people.
That was not what I
was expecting.
But God is helping
me understand I can still be the successful pastor of the successful church
filled with successful people. It’s just
that I need to have an accurate understanding of success as God defines it.
Success is
this: Faithful obedience to God.
