Church Voices

I read an article a few years ago about a drill manufacturer that was on the leading edge of laser technology. One of the questions they were asked was how a company that made drills became a leader in this new field. The answer was a simple one, they discovered their mission. As they looked toward the future and possible growth they realized that they were not in the business of making drills, they were in the business of making holes.  This understanding allowed them to be innovative and more focused at the same time.

There’s a lot of confusion about what kind of business Christian’s are in.  We get caught up in the business of making churches, programs, ourselves comfortable and sometimes we find ourselves in the business of just keeping the business going.  We need to continually be reminded that we are in the business of making disciples, that is telling others about Jesus, immersing them into the Father, Son, and Spirit, and teaching them to follow Jesus.
