What is Success in the Church?
Here’s the answer the Hughes’ give in their book, “Liberating Ministry from the Success Syndrome.”
“…This is our testimony: we found success in a small church that was not growing. We found success in the midst of what the world would call failure.”
“We had… come to see the basic plan for biblical success. To the best of our ability we were striving:”
1. To be faithful (obedient to God’s Word and hardworking)
2. To serve God and others
3. To love God
4. To believe he is (to believe what we believe)
5. To pray
6. To pursue holiness
7. To develop a positive attitude”
“This was our liberating and, may we humbly say, our success.”
