Dever on pragmatism and numbers orientation
You have probably already seen this elsewhere, but Mark Dever’s “The Apparent Piety of Numerical Goals” is an important piece well worth reading. I am convinced that pragmatism is one of the greatest threats to our evangelical churches in the West. Dever argues this well pointing to the problems of our number oriented goal setting. This points to some of the significant mindset shifting that we need in our churches and amongst pastors.

That was an amazing article. I appreciated how he said that he wasn't against numerical goals, but he is right that they certainly have a way of fooling us into thinking that we are more faithful to God than we really are.
Are you taking off to come to the Together for the Gospel conference this month?
I will not be going to the conference because we have a little one due somewhere in the last half of this month. :)
It does look to be a great conference though.
