One last thought on older people in a reforming situation...
One of the older members of our church who was here before I arrived said this:
"Young people tend to overestimate what they can do in the short run and underestimate what they can do in the long run."
Now that I'm 45 years old I think I'm beginning to understand what he meant!
The 9Marks blog aims to stimulate a helpful conversation among pastors, church leaders, and Christians about life together in the local church.

My previous post wasn't blog spam. I had just recently been thinking about the patience of God and this blog post made me think about how while humans are always in a hurry, God seems to move at a different pace. Throughout the Bible, God seems to be patient in unfolding his plan. We want to rescue everything in our first few years of ministry, but God works across a thousand generations.
