There's a tendency to measure a "great" church in terms of attendance, financial health, and the number of staff members, facilities, and programs. While these things are not necessarily bad, Jesus presents us with a new view-a new way of thinking about church. He says, "It's great that you are getting together. Now, what about those lonely souls out there who still don't have a group, who don't know Me? Go find them! They are the ones I'm most worried about. Can't you make room for one more. Such thinking reminds us that every single person matters to God. It also warns us about becoming complacent.
Luke 15:7
