Bible Question (short): Who Holds the Key to Church's Survival? |
Question (full): "Since the time of Christ, the church's survival has depended upon its ability to successfully communicate the gospel to the next generation." ..... This was the lead-off statement in an e-mail advertisement I received today from a popular vendor of religious literature. Please critque the statement in light of what the Bible teaches about the church, the body of Christ. Does the statement seem to place the perpetuity of the church in man's hands or in God's? Is the statement scripturally sound? ..... In keeping with the guidelines of SBF, please back up your answers with Bible references. --Hank |
