To win the fight…
“To win the
fight, you’ve got to have the right strategy and the right resources, because
victories don’t come by accident!” (War Room)
The Apostle Paul
said in 1 Corinthians 9: 22 ”To the weak
I became weak, that I might win the weak. I have become all things to all
people, that I may, by every
possible means, save some. 23 I do it all for the sake of the Gospel…”. (ESV emphasis added) I
believe we have to, as the church (the Ekklesia – the called out ones) unite
and intentionally promote that which is most important- The Gospel of Jesus
Christ. We must win people to Christ. While our message is just as strong our
methods must adapt to the times in which we live. We used to call it when I was
child…”The Good News for Modern Man”. I think it was a version of the
scripture. It is, however, apropos given this modern era. So is it not incumbent upon us to
intentionally change our methods to meet the needs of our Jerusalem, Judea,
Samaria and even the uttermost parts of the world! The Church is still relevant
today!!! We are a hospital for the sick. A filling station for the empty and
brokenhearted. We have the cure for sadness and anger. For God’s word tells us
to “find our joy in Him at all times” (Phil. 4:6) Our members must become more
engaged in ministry, because reaching our world is something that can only be
done intentionally…it will not happen accidently.
