“But there is a danger in our desire to do big things for God, for our pursuit of success dovetails with a powerful American temptation: the appeal of celebrity. These days, obscurity is the worst kind of failure. When we do something significant, we expect to be rewarded with popularity.” (Brandon O’Brien, The Strategically Small Church,
27)
“How can you believe, when you receive glory from one another and do not seek the glory that comes from the only God?” (Jesus, John 5:44)
