Business of the Church
Ro 10:14-15 "How then shall
they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they
believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear
without a preacher? And how shall they preach, except they be sent?
as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the
gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things!"
Preaching here is not sermonizing,
but relating the Gospel to the lost.

Thrust of the Church - Prime Directive
* The one thing that we cannot do in Heaven is Witness.
Now is the Time
Here is the Place
* The Failure of the Church is
winning the Lost.
That failure will culminate in the Rapture of the Church. Not
because of Victory, but Failure.

only rejecters left.

2. Why the church
does not evangelize
Lu 9:57-62 "And it came to pass,
that, as they went in the way, a certain man said unto him, Lord, I
will follow thee whithersoever thou goest.
And Jesus said unto him, Foxes have holes, and birds of the air have
nests; but the Son of man hath not where to lay his head.
And he said unto another, Follow me. But he said, Lord, suffer me
first to go and bury my father.
Jesus said unto him, Let the dead bury their dead: but go thou and
preach the kingdom of God.
And another also said, Lord, I will follow thee; but let me first go
bid them farewell, which are at home at my house.
And Jesus said unto him, No man, having put his hand to the plough,
and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God."
* Comforts of Life
A Place to lay our head
* Customs of Life

3. What should be done?
Repent
Re 3:19-22 "As many as I love, I
rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent.
Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice,
and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and
he with me.
To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne,
even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his
throne.
He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the
churches."
