Not Best... Better

Transformation doesn't come at once. For individuals, communities or organizations.
For the past 10 years I've heard a lot of folks all of them in churches larger than 3,000 people on any given Sunday, say something like, we want the a World Class Ministry, or we want to be the Best in Class.

These terms have always bugged me for a variety of reasons.
One of them is that churches who struggle to be the "Best" will never arrive. Never.

I think I get what they are saying though... at their heart they are saying they want to be better than they are now. That is the heart of innovation.
