The Unmovable Stake
from Devotions with Pastor Stanton · host Stanton Petersen
In a world obsessed with numbers, it’s tempting to measure a church’s success by one thing: growth. How many people are in the seats? And in our culture, there’s an immense pressure to get those numbers up. To do so, by softening the message. By being less "controversial." By pulling up the sharp, "unmovable stakes" of doctrine to make the tent more comfortable for everyone. But what if God’s strategy for a healthy church is the exact opposite? What if a wider tent actually demands deeper stakes?
