“Thinking Little isn’t an attempt to shrink and narrow our horizons; it’s not a strategic withdrawal. Nor is it an attempt to glorify little churches or excuse ourselves when we play it safe and avoid risk. Rather, it’s a strategy for a certain kind of growth. When we Think Little, we’re attempting to build something solid and real, rather than fake. It’s an attempt to build with gold, silver and precious stones, rather than wood, hay, and stubble (1 Cor 3:12). It’s an attempt to build on rock (which is slow and hard), rather than sand (which is quick and easy) (Matt 7:24, 26).”
