Church As a Snare.

I just noticed that we have adopted this thought that we can not allow a non-christian into the church without "presenting the gospel to them".

What happened to getting to know someone and then showing them God, but no we have to yell in their face and tell them that they are living wrong before we can ask their name.

Direct quote from church this sunday"...don't worry we won't let them leave without presenting the gospel to them." He was talking about a Halloween alternative thing we have called Hallelujah Harvest.

Lure them in with candy, shove the Bible in their face.

Every church does it, and if we didn't they would notice. They would see that something here is different. That we aren't trying to trick them or to capture them, just to captivate them with the love of God.
