HCP - Ep. 105- Biblical Metrics
On this episode of the HCP Larry and Drew discuss metrics (what we measure). Often church leaders focus on the 3 B’s - Buildings, Bodies, and Bucks as the main metrics for weather or not we are succeeding in our ministry efforts. The question however is, has God called us to success or faithfulness? David was guilty of counting his army instead of trusting God, Gideon was concerned about his lack of army, but God showed Him that the Lord was all he needed. Often as church leaders we’re on one side of this or another. We think we’re doing ok with a certain “number” that seems ok to feel safe. We must be so careful with seeking our safety, security, joy or fulfillment in the wrong things. What if we counted something over the 3 B’s?
What if we begin to serve the Lord and His church in such a way that we were more concerned about our disciples making disciples. Or if our people are loving Jesus, serving their families and neighbors as Christ followers. Are our families being discipled in the home and is mission going forward Mon-Sat? The Bible gives us many different scriptures about what should be important to us and Larry and Drew touch base on those “right” metrics and “new scorecard”.
We have to look deeper in our people to see if they’re “getting it”? Their attendance alone is not enough to determine a life lived for Christ. That’s where we get our hands dirty in the lives of people and shepherd
