                     THE MEASURE OF TRUE GREATNESS

 

                          A church is great in the sight of God only when it is:

 

Great in spirit.  The warmth of fellowship is apparent to all who worship in a great church.

Great is love.  Its love abounds toward all sinners.  The members love one another with real devotion.

Great in compassion.  Its heart reaches out to those who need its ministry.  Only by having a compassionate heart can a church be great.

Great in Christian living.  Its members live a dedicated Christian life.  It has no place for worldliness.

Great in loyalty.  Its members are loyal to the Lord and his church through their dedication of time, talent, and money to his service.
