As a Church, Should Growth Be Our Objective?

Believe it or not, I do not see growth as the objective of our Church. Our true objective is to have a healthy Church and the outcome of this will naturally be growth. Take for example a new born baby. As a parent, your objective is to provide love, food, clothing and shelter - to keep them healthy. What happens as a result? Growth happens, without force, but 

naturally. When as a parent, we provide a healthy lifestyle for our children, they grow. The same can be said for our Church. Our objective as individual Christians and collectively as a Church should be to maintain a healthy relationship with the Lord and strive to be more like Jesus. If we stay healthy spiritually and physically, growth will be the outcome. We need to be about His business; we need to let our lives touch those who don't know Him. Growth is the outcome for the Church when we have a healthy Church and individually when we have a healthy relationship with Jesus Christ. With a healthy relationship with God, we can be like Peter and John. In Acts Chapter 4, the religious leaders "commanded them not to speak or teach at all in the name of Jesus. But Peter and John replied, 'Judge for yourselves whether it is right in God's sight to obey you rather than God. For we cannot help speaking about what we have seen and heard.' Acts 4:18-20
