“‘Be careful! More isn’t always a sign of growth. You can grow in influence, have lots more people, more money, more buildings – but if you haven’t grown in the presence of Jesus among you and in His love for the poor, then what you’re talking about isn’t healthy growth at all…”

I am wrapping up a paper (see abstract below) titled "Religious Observance in America: Evidence from Cellphone Data". I have a gazillion figures about religion that I think are pretty interesting and make for fun Twitter content.

There are 2.6 BILLION Christian’s in the world & approx 210 MILLION in the U.S. I turned up the VOLUME (voice of Gods global church) 7 years ago to remind myself the fewest & loudest don’t represent Gods Kingdom in the world. Wisdom: Read and listen widely to avoid echo chambers

A song for pilgrims ascending to Jerusalem:
I look up to the mountains—
    does my help come from there?
My help comes from the LORD,
    who made heaven and earth!
The LORD keeps watch over you as you come and go,
    both now and forever.
Psalm 121:1-2,8 (NLT)
