Plant the seed, reap the harvest

 I have never saw seed left on the shelf produce a crop. I have never seen a crop harvest itself and bring itself into the store house.

So why do Christians think that they are going to have a harvest when they don’t plant seed? Why do Christians keep hanging around the church waiting for the lost souls to just come in?

Biblically speaking we are to be sowing the seed of the Gospel out into the world and we are to be GOING OUT into the world to be witnesses for Jesus and to make disciples.

It would be more effective, and Biblical, if we stopped inviting people to church and instead invited them to Salvation by grace through faith in Jesus. You do that and the lost get found and they will have a desire to be where the rest of the body of Christ is.

Took me years to understand what I had been taught in church for most of my life about church growth was wrong. Jesus grows the church through us leading people to salvation. Not through the worship band, cute preaching,or give aways. Just the power of the gospel.

Matthew 28:19

Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,

Acts 1:8

But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.”
