“The Church is looking for better methods; God is looking for better men.” - E.M. Bounds
Methods are inescapable. If you want to do anything, you will have to find a way to try and do it. There are, of course, better ways to do some things than others. But the way we do something is only part of what needs to be done. Who we are and who we are likely to become based on what methods we employ must not be overlooked.
God is wanting us to be better men by conforming us to the image of the Best Man, Jesus Christ. What we do, why we do it and how we go about it does influence others, but who we are when we influence them is of utmost importance.
Romans 8:29
For those whom He foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son
