I'm solely working my way through the book "REVITALIZE" by Andrew M. Davis. Although I'm just a few pages in, this paragraph caught my eye:
As Paul put it, "I planted, Apollos watered, but God gave the growth. So neither he who plants nor he who waters is anything, but only God who gives the growth." (1 Corinthians 3:6-7) Church revitalization is like the renewing of a dormant, seemingly dead plant to bear fruit. Not one pastor or lay leader could ever bring this about. this is something only God can do through Christ by the power of the Spirit. (page 51)
