‘In a culture where success is everything, let’s not forget that our faith is countercultural; Christianity isn’t about success but about failure being redeemed. Popularity, growing congregations, people speaking highly of us and so on are full of their own dangers; they may be a cause of thanksgiving but, if given the wrong kind of attention, can lead us down the road to nowhere. What matters is that our names are written in heaven, that our ‘core-self’ is rooted in the knowledge that we are God’s loved and precious child. We’re to be ‘doorkeepers of Heaven’, men and women whose primary call is to enable others to encounter holiness, to encounter God.’ 

(Enfolded in Christ, Ch.4)
