Friday Musings – November 20

When a mission, church, community, or ministry repeatedly tells you about their success, something has gone wrong. The message seems to be, “keep your donations rolling in and we’ll continue sending you e-mails and letters telling you how successful we are and how God is magisterially leading you to give and us to succeed.” Pardon me for suggesting that following in the footsteps of the Crucified and Risen One is not about success.
