Churches, like any living organism, face
0:03
the risk of drifting from their original
0:07
This often begins when our gaze shifts
0:09
from the fields ripe for harvest to the
0:11
comfort within our own walls. The
0:14
foundational truth is profound and
0:16
clear. As Luke 19:10 reminds us, the Son
0:20
of Man came to seek and to save the
0:24
When this divine mandate, this fervent
0:27
pursuit of the unreached ceases to be
0:30
central, our congregations inevitably
0:33
begin turning inward.
0:35
Our activities become self-serving, our
0:38
discussions parochial, and our energy
0:40
consumed by maintenance rather than
0:42
mission. We must seriously consider how
0:45
often our church truly articulates,
0:48
plans, and passionately pursues reaching
0:50
those outside the faith.
0:53
Let us reflect deeply on this vital
0:55
question and realign our hearts with the
0:57
Savior's relentless mission.
