It’s not
unusual for churches to compare their church to other churches they deem
successful. Leadership would never admit to being jealous of another church;
however, they often purchase how-to books to see if they can model the success
of others. In the early church crowds gathered around the Apostles as they
healed many and performed miraculous signs and wonders. The religious leaders
of the day compared their success with that of the Apostles. “Then the high
priest and all his associates, who were members of the party of the Sadducees,
were filled with jealousy” (Acts 5:17 NIV).
