One of my mates wrote this, sounds simply doesn’t? Growth of a church = people getting saved + people from other churches – people leaving People will come from other churches, stay for awhile and move on.

I easily see the negatives in any situation, person and even church – now while this could make me a grounded person  on average it makes me a pessimist. This last month I have seen that my pessimistic mindset has rubbed off on my wife and other people, my wife by nature is a glass [...]
