Standard of excellence

Re By The Numbers, January
Be it a large or small congregation the standard of excellence to which all Christians must aspire is Jesus Christ. I don't recall reading in scripture anything about doing church by the numbers. Size really doesn't matter. Read your Bible. It's all there. High expectations? Recognizing gifts? Of course. Speaking different languages? Unless Rev. Bush means speaking in tongues, I hope the only language that Presbyterians (including Presbyteries) are using is the language of love. We are called as God's people to nothing less. Now that's what I call a standard of excellence!
