This sort of humility in gospel work is refreshing in a Christian culture that takes the circumstances of a move of God, distills them to a set of practices or a program, and then expects gospel fruit from emulating those circumstances.
I like intentionality, but pause at the point where the program is depended upon to produce fruit, without conscious reliance on God’s graciousness.
I also want to affirm that while there may be no “proven strategies” there are behaviours that are so antithetical to grace that their fruit is decay.
Though written in the context of church planting I think it holds true for church growth plans as well.
From Nathan Knight:
There are no “proven strategies,” no books, no Enneagram numbers, that if you just plug into a city will produce success. Success is found in the faithful spreading of the seed.
How does it grow? We. Know. Not. How. We planters rest in the sufficiency of Christ and the Word that points to him as we lovingly and liberally scatter the gospel in our cities. Scattering seed and sleeping defines our success, beloved. How about that?Read the whole post at Gospel Coalition.

Important use of the comma between ‘fine’ and ‘injury’. I’d have used one between ‘injury’ and ‘or’ as well. The meaning seems pretty clear, but you’re communicating with people who think jumping down on train tracks has a future.
Let Us Be Known is a track from Neighbor Songs, the second album released by a collective of musicians under the name The Porter’s Gate.
The song features lyrics in Spanish and English.
It seems to be an adaption/development of this song by Ryan Flanigan.
Lyric:
Que la alegría sea nuestro motor
En cada lugar y corazón canta a el Senor
Que de nuestras vidas, abundar en esperanza
Que la alegría sea nuestro motor
Por la gloria del Padre
Por la gloria del Hijo
Por la gloria del Espíritu
Qua la alegria ser a nuestro motor
Let us be known by our love
Let every word and every deed, honor the son
Let our light shine in every eye
Let us be known by our love
For the glory of the Father
For the glory of the Son
For the glory of the Spirit
Let us be known by our love
For the glory of the Father
For the glory of the Son
For the glory of the Spirit
Let us be known by our love
