Number One Work |
||
| The church is being
beckoned to go into many activities. Some churches are getting off into
entertainment, sports, various forms of recreation, family centers,
gymnasiums, social emphasis, gimmicks, etc. Mush energy and resources are
poured into such unwarranted trivia. Some have lost sight of the work God
gave His church. They could not stand the test being genuine as those of
the first century.
God gave the church one main and all-absorbing job, being "the pillar and ground of the truth" (1 Tim. 1: 15). Like Christ, her meat is to do the Father's will (John 4:34). Actually carrying out the sentiment of Mark 16: 15, 16 commission is its number one work. Happy is that individual and/or congregation "whom his Lord when he cometh shall find so doing" (Matt. 24: 46). |
