Catch 'Em and Keep 'Em
“By this all men will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.” John 13:35
​
You've heard the expression regarding new people who visit the church, "They come in the front door and go out the back door." And when they don't come again, we wonder why. Though many reasons are possible, we want to make sure that the reason is not us…how we present ourselves, how we represent our God.
​
The church is called to be a witness to the world concerning what Jesus Christ has done for us. We preach Christ and Him crucified as we share the Gospel with a lost and seeking world. We no longer live for ourselves but for the glory of God.
Yet, we still fall short, and one way in particular can be evident to our family and friends that we invite to church—and that is complaining.
“We love the Lord, and we're grateful for all He has done, but that preacher (this), or that sister (that)...”. You get the point. It reminds me of the Israelites who complained to Moses on the way to the Promised Land. God's response was a 40-year sentence in the wilderness because they complained. Is your church stuck in a wilderness experience?
