House Church Talk - Practical HC Question....

Hi Brother Dan, pleased to make your acquaintance again!

And there is your answer.  If God is pleased then that is
enough.

I had to learn that I am not called to be all things to all
people.  Instead of trying to persuade people to get on the
same page with me, I just look for people who are already on
the same page.  It's easier on both of us.  Gideon may have
to sift through thousands of people to find 300 ready to go
into battle, but that's all he needs.  Don't lose sleep over
the ones who won't walk with you.  When you get really good
you'll be able to pick them out and eliminate them before
you waste a lot of time with them.  Let them go and invest
your energies in the ones who are right there in front of
you.  That's where you will reap the greatest reward.
