Just as the boxer must realize that the fight is in the middle of the ring, and he comes to his corner for rest, direction, exhortation, and to be worked on, the Christian Church must understand that the church is our corner but the fight happens outside the walls of the church.
Too many of us believe that if we serve in the church, come faithfully, and hold positions that we are doing our part. That thinking causes frustration, stagnation, and failure to be the salt of the earth which is one of the roles of church. This responsibility can not be left solely on the Pastors, but must become the atmosphere of the membership of the church. Evangelism is suffering in most churches because members have not decided that they will take their love for the Lord to their family, friends and co-workers.
