"A group of people were discussing their churches not so long ago, and one of the people in our congregation was part of the bunch. Apparently, people judge the size of a church by the number of ministers it has, so they were comparing notes. One church had two. Another had three, and still another four. Then they asked the man from our church how many ministers his church had. Without hesitation, he said 'A little over seven thousand.' He hit the nail on the head - at our church, every member is a minister. Every person is called to serve."
- Treasures of the Transformed Life, John Ed Mathison (Abingdon Press, p. 249)*
