Once we begin to think of our faith in terms of largeness instead of largess or in terms of measurable success or significant achievements or community stature or statistically significant gains or business models or congregational models or appropriate budget processes or cash flow direction or generally accepted accounting
practices or independent audits or administrative requirements or
managerial transparency or proper leadership roles and boundaries or membership trends or effective organizational structures or a current and accurate vision statement — at that point, we have become the money changers — we have lost our faith and deserve to be
driven away for we are neither living nor sharing the Good News.
