You dont judge the strength of an army by how many soldiers sit and eat in the mess hall, but by how they perform on the front line. Likewise a churchs strength is not seen in how many show up, but in how many serve in the ministry.
More Quotes from Rick Warren:
During the next 90 days, people are going to be more open to the Gospel than in years. It is God's responsibility to make people receptive; it is our responsibility to sow the seed.Rick Warren

A lot of people have vision just based on ego, but it's in that dependence upon God that we get His vision and develop more trust in Him.
