• We will never find joy in church membership when we are constantly seeking things our way. But paradoxically, we will find the greatest joy when we choose to be last. That's what Jesus meant when He said the last will be first. True joy means giving up our rights and preferences and serving everyone else.

• Si las fuerzas externas y la cultura fueran las razones del declive y la falta de influencia de las iglesias, probablemente no tendríamos iglesias hoy en día. Los mayores periodos de crecimiento, en particular el del primer siglo, tuvieron lugar en culturas adversas. No somos obstaculizados por fuerzas externas; somos obstaculizados por nuestra propia falta de compromiso y desinterés.

• Ser miembro de la Iglesia es un don. Un regalo que hay que valorar. No debe darse por sentado ni considerarse a la ligera. Porque es un regalo, debemos estar siempre agradecidos por ello. Y cuando estamos agradecidos por algo, tenemos menos tiempo y energía para ser negativos... Una pertenencia sana a la Iglesia significa que encuentras tu alegría en ser el último, en lugar de buscar tu camino y ser el primero.
