Paul was not quiet about how the church had grown under his ministry. He was certain to give God the credit. In 14:27 he reported "all that God had done with them." In 15:12 he declared the miracles and wonders God had worked through them. The result of this testifying was that the people had great joy (15:3). So two questions I must ask myself. First, am I giving God the praise by testifying of His works at my church? This assumes there is something to talk about and that I am willing to praise God. Second, when others tell of God's work in their ministry do I rejoice or am I too susceptible to ministerial envy and suspicion?
