On numbers
Lessons for Leaders from David #1688
2 Samuel 24. Pastor, there is nothing inherently wrong with knowing how many people attend your church. But if it becomes a point of pride, or, on the other hand, a point of unnecessarily great discouragement, then numbers have become too important. We are servants of the Lord. We seek only His approval in what we do as we minister to God’s people. They are God’s, not ours.
