that they have become nothing more than places of social gathering, entertainment, pride, and inwardness. All the while, God's heart breaks and His tears fall as He looks outside the churches and sees all the souls who do not know Him, but whom He loves so deeply and so fervently.
We are commanded by God to go into the world and preach the Good News, not to sit in our padded pews and expect the unsaved to walk off the streets, enter our buildings, be noticed, respond to altar calls when there are none, and pay money to come to the church's dinners, concerts, camps, and retreats.
"And then He told them,
'Go into all the world
and preach the Good News to everyone.'"
Mark 16:15 (NLT)
God calls us to go and preach, not sit and be entertained.
