Read this post and found myself wondering…if low number can be good (God’s winnowing) or bad (reflecting a group becoming too exclusive) and if high numbers can be good (God’s spirit moving) or bad (people coming for wrong reasons), then what’s the point of numbers? Do we really need to count the heads to know if what is going on in a youth group or church is good or bad? Perhaps if we could leave the numbers behind, we might be able to focus on more important matters.
