Subject: How to "win the world" ? |
Bible Note: Tim Let me ask you a question that was asked of me and one that I wrestle with. How many disciples have you made? How many are being made in the church you attend? I think that answer is clearly not enough, I don't care if it is a growing church or one in decline the fact of the matter too few true disciples are being made. Your right there are churches growing and they are not all shallow, however I wonder if the same effort that was applied to make the church grow was applied in making disciples, how the numbers would change? Would we see big churches or more sold out Christians. Incidently the numbers on actual church growth shows basically the churches have been trading people back in forth for the last 24 years. Experts that interpret those numbers tells us the church that is growing is actually drawing people from other churches, every few new converts are being made and even less disciples. Take a census in your own church and see where the people are coming from. Be blessed my brother. EdB |
