When I first saw this video I continued saying in my mind, “yes! This
is what it’s all about.” I am so tired of churches that focus on
programs, entertainment, sports programs and “stuff”. (Programs aren’t
entirely bad unless they become the focus which is exactly what is
plaguing many churches today.) They want to pack the doors on Sunday
mornings but they do not equip the saints to go out into the world and
make disciples. This video does a good job of showing this problem.
While I don’t agree entirely with the ministry who developed this video
regarding their understanding of “kingdom multiplication” and an
unbalanced message that instead of being in church we should be out in
the world, I think it sends a proper message to most larger churches who
are obsessed with programs and just getting people in the door and
trying to be so much like the world. Bottom line, church is for believers, not
the world! The key is, if we understand church Biblically then the
saints will naturally seek to go out into the world as lights of Christ
but they will also deeply desire to be in the family of Christ on the
Lord’s Day and any other time they can corporately get together to feast
on God’s Word, be held accountable and worship Christ the Lord.
