I believe as Christians and a Church we are to carry out the great commission. But i think we have lost focus of reaching the lost and focused more on the Sunday morning church meeting and bringing people in the doors and in the pews.
Let's face it, the respect for the church has plummeted drastically, especially with the upcoming generations. And so why do we expect people to come to us when we won't go to them?
It just seems logical that Christians should not GO to church at all. If we are concentrated more on the service quality, the attendance, sunday school, or spending time with good people it defeats our purpose. Im not saying church is pointless because i have seen many good things happen in the church and i have seen many people become followers of Jesus because they decided to step in the doors of a church building one sunday. But, i think we miss out on SO MANY MORE opportunities to share the gospel just because we spend more time GOING to church than BEING the Church.
I wonder what Paul would say about the church today. Does it do more harm than good?
