The Purpose of Your Life by Francis Chan

“The church was suppose to be a bunch of people that were spending their days out making disciples, trying to get other people to follow God. And they get so beat up that they would just naturally gather together and have this fellowship, this bond where they bandage one another up & send them back out. . . . And sometimes the reason why churches dont work quite right, is like we’re a bunch of soldiers that never went to war. Yet we all go to the war hospital & start playing with the bandages. It’s like we havent even been beat up because you havent been at war. It doesnt even make sense to gather together.” ~Francis Chan

i love this quote i highlighted above. i feel like it needs to be a constant reminder for me as to why i’m doing what i’m doing. am i an active participant in the war? am i doing my part?
or am i just hanging out at the hospital, getting free snacks and talking about the war i’m not even participating in?
