The church in America does allot of good.

Okay, I come across with a harshness toward the church in America. First, someone needs to. Maybe in doing do some church leaders will also join the band wagon and help push for change.

The church in America does allot of good. A Presbyterian Church in St. Louis made front page news the other day. The title of the article, not exact, "Churches come through when FEMA didn't. This group of servants made a difference in many homes needing upgrade repairs, cleaning and painting. Of course we need the church, a whole lot of people are touched and served. I'm never proposing that we give up the church, we need her. If the church in America disappeared from the face of the earth there would be a huge void. My motto: Better to have a broken church than no church at all.

While the church does a allot of good, it is missing out on doing the most good. The most good is unleashing the church to individually and intentionally build relationships that lead to friends with relationships leading friends to Jesus who also lead friends to Jesus.

Imagine the Sunday morning excitement when a believer friend bring his new believer friend to church and announces and introduces his new believer to the congregation. My friend George accepted Jesus Christ and I am discipling Him to know and pay the price in following Jesus so that He can quickly befriend another and lead him to Jesus and his friend befriend and lead his friend to Jesus and on and on down the line.

The church in America does allot of good. BUT, the church in America misses out on doing the Greatest Good. Do you want to do good or the Greatest Good!Actually you can do both, but neglecting the latter is leaving spots empty in heaven.
