I read some things by G. Surrat that so resonated with me that I could hardly sit still:
- That reaching non-churched people for the Kingdom should be a high priority.
- That just about any pastor who tries to do the above comes up against criticism from sincere, already-churched people that the Gospel is being dumbed down - that 'we want and need to be fed.'
- That the definition of Christian maturity needs re-defining - not measured by how much one knows, but by who one loves.
- That truly mature believers are almost impossible to offend because they always believe the best - they are patient with the growth process of others - they hardly notice when someone says or does something to rub them the wrong way - they rarely say a harsh word about another.
Who loves that?
Who wants to be that?
And be blessed.
