The Church As A Mission Field

Do you know which world mission field today is in desperate need of faithful, obedient, and submissive missionaries?

It's not Africa.

It's not Asia.

It's not the 10/40 window.

It's not Muslim countries.

It's the so-called Christian church.

Many different surveys and studies have shown that the Christian church, tragically, is losing relevancy and impact in society today, all around the world.

The so-called Christian church has only itself to blame for this.

The so-called Christian church, all around the world, has been poisoned by those who preach false gospels, be it the prosperity gospel, or the "health and wealth" gospel, or the "name it and claim it" gospel, or "easy believe-ism", or cultural compromise.

In Galatians 1:6-7 (NKJV), the Apostle Paul writes to the church at Galatia, "I marvel that you are turning away so soon from Him who called you in the grace of Christ, to a different gospel, which is not another; but there are some who trouble you and want to pervert the gospel of Jesus Christ."

The Apostle Paul would also write to Timothy, in 2 Timothy 4:3-4 (NKJV), that "the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but according to their own desires, because they have itching ears, they will heap up for themselves teachers; and they will turn their ears away from the truth, and be turned aside to fables."

That time, of which the Apostle Paul writes, has come.

The impact that the Christian church should have on this world has been diluted by a different gospel, a perverted gospel, unsound doctrine, and a preference for fables instead of God's truth.

That is why all authentic believers must look upon the Christian church as a mission field of utmost importance and high priority.
