A LINE FROM DANNY

Computers are a lot like our churches. Sometimes they quit functioning like they are designed. Various viruses like sin, indifference, and a wrong focus can send church growth efforts in a tail spin. Such was the case with my computer last week. Fortunately I had a company in our area who could fix it. Not all church growth maladies can be easily corrected. Patience, perseverance, and a renewed focus on our Lord Jesus is required.

This issue of the framework Weekly is a general issue. May you find some help for you and your leaders in its content.

A special promotion is planned in coming months to use “Built By The Owner’s Design” in planning for the new church year and as a gift for “Pastor Appreciation Month” in October.
