About This Quote

It is often the parishioners, the men and women in the pews, who set the tone. In this quote, Randy Alcorn is saying that church members are the most important people in a church’s ministry. They set the tone for everything that happens in a church. A pastor can lecture and teach all he wants, but without his congregation, he is only preaching to himself and not doing anything to reach his community. When they feel inspired and encouraged by what they hear and see, they become real believers and it becomes possible to reach their entire community.
