The Table, a Series on Communityنموونە

There was an old preacher from the Civil War era named E.M. Bounds who said it this way:

“We are constantly on a stretch, if not on a strain, to devise new methods, new plans, new organizations to advance the Church and secure enlargement and efficiency for the gospel. This trend of the day has a tendency to lose sight of the man or sink the man in the plan or organization. God's plan is to make much of the man, far more of him than of anything else. Men are God's method. The Church is looking for better methods; God is looking for better men.”

We are God’s method. He wants to use us to work in other peoples’ lives: in the lives of your friends and your family. In your schools, in your neighborhoods, and at your jobs. You are God’s method.
