When churches grow best

Tim Keller on when churches grow best:

We believe that, paradoxically, churches grow best not when they aim at church growth as much as when they serve the peace/shalom of the whole city. Saint Augustine believed that citizenship in the City of God made us the very best citizens of the human city. (Redeemer Church Planting Manual)

Thank you, thank you, thank you, for printing that marvelous quote. More reasons to promote Keller. More reasons not to put growth at the top of our priorities. More reason to be hopeful regarding the North American church. We could use it.
