A Word of Wisdom

In a sermon yesterday, I heard the following wise statement:

"What a church wins people with, they win people to!"

As an example, he used a church using an outreach to help people with their debt issues. This is addressing a physical need, and might win people to your church.....as long as you focus on physical needs. Many times you lose these people when you try to turn the focus onto their spiritual needs.

I thought about the different UPC type churches that are promoting their church with pictures of every day people instead of holiness type people in their advertising. The bait and switch rarely works!
