[Adapted from a question in an old Bible study book.]
The purpose of the church is to win souls. It is important that the church be kept pure. Is it possible, though, that so much time and energy is spent on the details of church work that we have come to see that as our main mission, somewhat as though a man was forever servicing and tuning up a combine and never getting to the field to use it to harvest the waiting grain?
Amen! a car parked in a garage does not serve its purpose!
I once had a poster that said “A ship in a harbour is safe, but that’s not what ships are built for.”
