What the church should be..

12:15 pm

For hundreds and hundreds of years, the church has been around, and it’s been here for the sole exsistance of trying to reach the lost world. However, even in today’s culture, the church is having a hard time. I believe this is because churches aren’t tapping into the resources that God has given them, and using every possible method they can to reach the lost. Theaters are full every night because the world lies to people very well, while churches are empty because they tell the ultimate Truth poorly. Why is this? Dave Matthews Band can use video footage at their concert to tie into the point of the song, if it even has a point, but many churches won’t use that same approach to bring home the cause of Christ, and make it relevant to the lost people of the world…Why? I hear too may churches say it’s because they don’t have the resources or money, but that’s not really the point. The point is, churches are too complacent where they are. They are more interested in making the old folks comfortable than they are reaching the poepl who drive PAST the church on Sunday morning!! The Bible says “be faithful with the small things, and you will be given many things (Matt 25:23). Maybe you can’t step into large scale Arts Preformances, and that’s OK. But if you are faithful with what you have, and give it 110% all the time, you will see fruit.

  1. Love it. I am seeing that complacency start to fade at my church and I love being right in the middle of it on the video and music end. You rock, Adam. Keep writing!
