Luke 15:4

“Suppose one of you has a hundred sheep and loses one of them. Doesn’t he leave the ninety-nine in the open country and go after the lost sheep until he finds it?

From Pastor Wangler’s April 19th blog post:

A failure on the part of the church to reach unchurched people potentially equates to lost sheep never found, lost sons never returning home, lost coins forever out of circulation, and a lost body of Christ wandering aimlessly, but feeling rather comfortable about it. 

How can we spend millions of dollars of God’s money, see very few of his children redeemed, and somehow think it’s okay?  How can the leadership of a church not know, with certainty, with clarity, how many people have been won to Christ in the last year as a result of their stewardship of His resources?  Read more here.
