In response to "Is our Gospel Becoming too Social?"

I understand the concern, but I gotta play devils advocate on this one too.

1) People don't care what you know until they know you care.
2) People aren't asking if Christianity or God is real, they're asking if they want to be like you.

The Rock and other churches get alot of **** for being "too social." Could it be that they understand these two concepts and because of it evangelizing, change and growth in people's lives has been tremendous? Could it just be?

Not until churches understand and strike a balance in this arena, they are selling God and His people short. There are too many churches who push religion and getting saved one's dry throat (by unsolicited talk) without considering that doing this does more bad than good and opens even more ridicule and contempt against the "faith." Be social... and see what happens.

1) Why sit there and criticize us when you could be doing something. Criticism is not a fruit of the spirit
2) We don't shove or talk Christianity, we live it by going into the world living and leading by example.
3) People who don't go into churches can only be reached by its people going out from them.
4) We do share the gospel in every chance we get-words and actions.
5) We are not trying to be like the non-profits, the church has failed to do what they have been called; making room for NPs
