Honest thoughts

Our mission is to reach non-Christians and lead them to be followers of Christ.

If we are reaching church transplanters (exclude other countries), then I think we have a problem.

Maybe I’m wrong. But I believe that God has a plan and a purpose for you in the church that He has placed you in. Unless God calls you out, your job is to stay, get deeply rooted, planted and serve.

That’s why if our reason for changing church is that the worship or the preaching is not up to our standard, then we don’t really understand what worship is or the responsibilities of every Christian.

Worship is not really up to standard? Well, the only standard that God measures our worship on is the obedience to God that is lived in our lives. So if you say worship is not up to standard, you are actually implying that your obedience to God is not up to standard? Who’s to blame? Will changing church change the problem when we are the problem? Same problem, different breeding ground.

Preaching not up to standard? Well, it’s every christian’s job to study the Word of God. The Holy Spirit helps us with what we cannot do, not what we can do. What we can do is study the Word of God. Sure, you can learn from the sermon, but our learning shouldn’t come primarily from Sunday preaching. It should come from Monday to Sunday’s reading and living.

This is not targetted at anyone. It’s just what I’ve been pondering about. About when can we ever reach all people and make them disciples of Christ if all we get are needy church transplanters who need to be fed milk every Sunday.
