Healthy growing churches infuse their members with the idea they are all on a mission from God and a mission for God.
When we forget that we are here to be outward focused, we easily become inward focused. We make church about us and our personal comfort.
The outcome of such choices is predictable, and it is one of the primary reasons that the mainlines churches have been in decline for decades.
Yes I want you to like your church, but the church is the means, it is not the end. The church is a tool that we use to reach and care for others. It is not meant to be a vacation home.
Christianity is lived off property... outside the doors of the church.
It's a beautiful day in God's world, be sure to see the good.
